Hi all, Apologies for an off topic post here just hoping someone can answer this for me as you have always come up with the goods for other queries in the past and my postings to the various games.me ng's have not yet given me the solution. My daughters PC has been upgraded to WinME and they recently asked me to re-install Duke Nukem 3D onto it. When running the setup program and selecting the soundcard to use for soundfx the test tells me that it failed due to a possible IRQ conflict. I have checked device manager in ME and there are no conflicts and the IRQ, DMA and address settings are exactly as I have chosen in Duke3D. The strange thing is that selecting the same option for the music in the game works fine. The only way I can get the game to run is by selecting 'none' for the card to use for soundfx but this takes away from the game somewhat. I thought that I could simply run the game in DOS to get around the problem but found that ME doesn't seem to have a DOS option so couldn't even try this. I was considering upgrading my main PC to ME but if this is a real problem I will have to think again as I want to be able to run ICR2 \ CART but if the same problem arises I won't have any sound in the sim. Any ideas anyone?? TIA PH
Doesn't ICR2/CART have a Windows version available? I'm pretty sure that my version does. "Peter Hooper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
