GPL crashes dsound.vxd ??

3 posts by 2 people · 01 Mar 1999 - 01 Mar 1999

I have this weird problem, I don't really think it's GPLs fault: I can't do training. If I do, when I hit the button to go to a track, it loads, then throws me a win blue screen, saying there was a terminal error in dsound.vxd(1). Now, this didn't happen before..I've tried another dsound.vxd from an old HD, and it worked one night, the next day it was the same. Occasionally, the same crash occurs in a race (rarely), but often in replays. Always when I want to do training. Any ideas? I'm running Win95 Osr2, my sound card is an Awe64 Value, with updated drivers (they may be the cause..?) I'm running some of patrick's sounds, but when the game loads training, the crowd.wav is the first sound to be loaded? Thanks for any help, please respond by mail.

What version of DirectX are you using? If its 6.1 I wonder if this just another in a long line of problems with it....
