Were you ever able to ? if so what changed ? Could you provide some specs ?

[Big D]

I had another computer (an older one)

the game worked normally on that one.

but on my new pc it won't work.

well at least no sound/music

system specs

AMD Athlon[TM]XP 2100+

1.73 GHz

1.00 GB of Ram

[Nyarlathotep]

What OS are you using and were you using the same OS on the old pc ?

[Big D]

err win 98 on the old one

winxp on this one

[Atomic Mitten]

Try running it in windows compatability mode.

The easiest way is create a shortcut to the game on your dektop.Right click on the desktop shortcut you created, then click on the compatability tab.

Put a tick in the box run in windows 98 compatability mode.

See if this helps.

[Big D]

will do

it won't work

[Atomic Mitten]

Ok open up the sound control window, click on the small loudspeaker Icon in your taskbar, see if wav slider is muted or set very low, also check all the mute boxes at the bottom of the sliders.

[Big D]

they are set very normal

the game is still not making any sounds :'(

[Atomic Mitten]

In one of the older threads on tech support there is something mentioned about this, could you look through the old threads ?

Sorry I don't have the time at the moment.ok

[Big D]

I'll check it out

Dune 1 is DOS right? You could download a trial version of Connectix Virtual PC and run Dune on a virtual PC installed with DOS or Windows 9x. It worked for me! The original Command and Conquer works perfectly, compared to running it in XP which it just won't work. It also emulates a sound blaster so you can listen to game sounds and music.

Or create a dual boot system. Win XP has lost all DOS compatibility. For DOS games to work, your soundcard settings for example need to be defined in the autoexec and config.sys, which lack with Win XP...

[gryphon]

which soundcard is there in your new PC ?

[Big D]

sound blaster live or sumtin

[legolas]

i have the same problem so if you find a solution please let me know ...

Isn't connectix for MAc computers ?

[Kiyouta]

Not only for Macs. They released one for windows as well. But I think Microsoft have aquired Connectix now, so the only place to download the software is using eMule or something.

*EDIT:

Actually they removed the link on their website, but the download still works:
