Nyarlathotep Posted November 12, 2001 Author Posted November 12, 2001 Radar, at least make sure you've got the latest drivers. The SBLive! drivers you have are outdated (at least for WinME).Look at a copy from mine (also running Windows ME):Sound Card : Creative SB Live!Sound Driver : emu10k1.vxdDriver Version : 4.12.01.0801Compare with yours.I do believe you're running DirectX 8 (looking at the version of the files), but ahve to admit that it's a bit weird that it shows up as DirectX 2.Upgrade your SBLive! drivers and let us know if it changed anything !Nyar...
Nyarlathotep Posted November 12, 2001 Author Posted November 12, 2001 Caca, you've got a weird problem. I'll try to look into in further. Also, please make sure you contact WW tech support. If they reply with the automated reply with links, just reply and state that it didn't help. After that, a "real" person will look into your prob.To all, it's always good to contact WW tech support. Only that way will they know what problems users have.Nyar...

Guest Radar Posted November 13, 2001 Posted November 13, 2001 Found the updated driver for my soundcard. Server seems a bit busy though so i`m gonna try to download it a bit later.
Guest Radar Posted November 13, 2001 Posted November 13, 2001 Will download and re-install DirectX now. Having problem finding the sound drivers though (Creative`s sites are messy).I have a friend who have run the game on a PII 333mhz with no problems.Tried to run Emperor with 256 colors in Windows, no help.[This message has been edited by Radar (edited 11-13-2001).]

Guest Radar Posted November 13, 2001 Posted November 13, 2001 Sorry, there are no drivers for Sound Blaster Live! Family under in Europe. :(
Nyarlathotep Posted November 13, 2001 Author Posted November 13, 2001 I was about to say that you must have done something wrong, but decided to check first and you're right...but there ARE new drivers for you, I'm positive of it. I would have mailed them to you, but they're over 5mb...Try this page:http://www.europe.creative.com/support/drivers/?Nyar...
Nyarlathotep Posted November 13, 2001 Author Posted November 13, 2001 Rajzor, about the program you talked about, could you help a guy out with it ? Look here:http://messagebrd.westwood.ea.com/boards/emp/english/Forum1/HTML/009498.htmlNyar...

Guest Radar Posted November 14, 2001 Posted November 14, 2001 Updated sound drivers. Tried running Emperor, as usual, in 256 colors and with only Explorer and Systray running.Same thing happened, crashed to the desktop after the Westwood logo. Some times i get the DDhelp error too.Should i post an updated version of my EAsy_EA?
