DTR or Sprint Cars and Win XP

Has anyone gotten DTR or Sprint Cars to run under XP? I have the exact same problem with both programs. "Error initializing sound". I've adjusted hardware acceleration with no luck. I've read the faq on Ratbag's site but nothing there. Does anyone have any ideas? They ran fine under 98. I haven't bought Leadfoot yet. Many thanks in advance. Ed

I 'would' advise putting Win98 back in..but that will only get me yelled at! :) good luck dave henrie "ejsmith1007" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:7YEK7.1426$[email hidden]... > Has anyone gotten DTR or Sprint Cars to run under XP? I

Thanks, that helps. At least I know it works. I just downloaded the newest XP drivers at Creative but still no go. I'm not ready to give up yet. Ed "tsrf900r" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tLGK7.242$[email hidden]...

In the options editor select the box '-no checksum on sound' or something like that, and you should be good to go. MadDAWG

I have DTR installed on windows XP and have no problems with sound. If you perform dxdiag do you pass the directsound tests? I do have problems with the resolution always defaulting to 640x480, the workaround in the readme files doesn't solve this for me.
