Game not loading - MancLad - 04-06-2007

Am sure drivers are up to date - at least they seem so far as I can check but having a problem with the exe accoriding to the blackbox.

Trying to open software device...

It seems as though it must be a sound device error, but I can't find any newer drivers for my soundcard other than what is already installed so I assume they are bang up to date. Thanks.

It seems that selectively updating some bits of my audio are doing the tric, however it's screwing up the nforce sound console with which you make all the sound adjustments and I am not sure what to do now Sad

i'm french, and my english is "frenchiz" sorry.
if u have an nforce, you have to uptade this, in the nvidia website, driver audio for all nforce.
the number for allnforce (4.xxx) is under the number for nforce 1/2 (6.14xx)
and may be u need have your soundcard update and the driver audio of your nforce update.

try, is working for me.

Thanks I will try that. And your English is very good Smile in fact it's excellent.

Edit: it seems that with my motherboard - and Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe, that updating the sound drivers is a massively messy affair to get passed what I have now without some serious work. Is there any chance that a patch will address the conflict some people have and enable me to get back into the game? Thanks.
