have you recently cleared your disk space if not do it
1. go start
2. programs
3. accesories
4. system tools
5. disk clean up
if that doesnt do it i dont know what will
or try to reinstalll it
I reinstalled many times.
Well, uh, I recommend reinstalling the game, and checking folder/file permissions (though it seems to be a problem with the OS installation configuration most likely) and if all else fails reinstall Windows.
Yeah, it's something with the OS installation. Boo.
But... I did a little more reseach and the root of the problem is SP2 and my sound card.
The solution is to remove SP2.
I found myself here:
http://support.microsoft.com/KB/875350None of the solutions work.. SP2 doesn't show up in Add/Remove Programs [the other updates, do].
Use the hidden $NtServicePackUninstall$ folder
That folder isn't in my WINDOWS folder..
I think it's because I didn't install SP2 like most people, by getting an update from Windows Update. When I installed XP, the CD install SP2.
Any suggestions?
