Monaco GP Demo Crashes

I am getting a crash running the MGP demo. It runs for a few seconds and then blows up with something like this: xxxx caused a page fault in WAVX2BVR.DLL I'm presuming it has something to do with the sound. I have a Diamond Monster II and a Turtle Beach Montego. I've tried both the DirectX and Voodoo versions and neither works. Anyone else have/solve this problem? -- Brian

It's a A3D soundcard, isn't it? After turning off HW acceleration on my Terratec XLerate, MGPR worked like a charm. BTW, these bozos at Terratec promised new drivers within about 3 weeks, but that was more than 2 months ago... l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

I had the same experience: fix it by opening the sound.cpa file and changing the line where it specifiesWAVX2 toWAVD3. That sorts it out. Or at least it did for me. The sound quality will still be lousy, but at least it'll work. And there are already new sounds out for the demo, if you've got the utility to install them. If not, you can get to all of 'em at http://www.f1racingsim.com. Cheers, Steve B.

Same thing happened to me, I changed settings in Sound/CPA/dll from Default WAVX2 to WAVPW which I also had to change in F1rs. You can always reset settings if no help. Good Luck!
