Now i know some may be thinking it's due to the fact that i downloaded it as a torrent, but it's not because other's who have bought the game also have several problems with it. now to be clear i've updated my graphics driver i think, though when i scan my CPU with an online free scanning system it says it's out of date... but i think that's not it, because it would not come up at all would it?.?.? anywayz som have the problem with their sound, some say it's the sound card/drivers... and mine is out of date and i need to know what the hell 2 do, because i really want to enjoy this game.... So here are my specs(drumroll pls....................)

Hello, sorry to be a pain.

I have this audio controller too. I'm trying to play an mpeg file (i believe its an mpeg2 file?). I have acquired the codec for the video, but Windows Media Player still refuses to play it. When i ask for help, it says I may need to update my sound drivers. How do i do this please?

Comp Info:

Manufacturer: Dell

CPU Type: Intel Celeron 1000MHZ
Motherboard Name: Dell Optiplex GX150
Chipset: Intel Solano i815E

Hope thats everything you need, it's taken me an age to find all this information, so if there's anything else, can you tell me where to find it?

Thanks very much!

Thanks for that, I managed to download the audio driver you sent me, but I'm still not able to play the files (They are an MPEG). Do you have any ideas what could be wrong?

This is the message I get:

Windows Media Player Error Message Help
You've encountered error message C00D11B1 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.

Cannot play the file
Windows Media Player cannot play the file. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:

Your sound device, such as a sound card or sound controller, requires an updated driver. To determine if an updated driver is available, see Windows Update at the Microsoft Web site, or see the sound device manufacturer's Web site.

Your sound device is not functioning properly. Try using Device Manager to check the status of your sound device.

To check the status of your sound device
Do one of the following:

If you are running Windows XP, click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.

If you are running Windows Vista, click Start, right-click Computer, and then click Manage.

In the pane on the left, click Device Manager.

In the pane on the right, expand Sound, video and game controllers, and then look for the name of your sound device.

Do one of the following:

If your sound device is listed but the icon includes a red "X," the device has been disabled. To enable the device, right-click the icon, and then click Enable.

If your sound device is not listed, in the pane on the right, expand Other devices. If Multimedia Audio Controller appears in the list, right-click the icon, and then click Update Driver or Update Driver Software. Follow the on-screen instructions to find and install the driver software.

If you are not able to find and install the correct driver software, see your computer manufacturer's or sound device manufacturer's Web site for further assistance.

You do not have a sound device installed on your computer. Install a sound device, and then try to play the file again. For details, see your computer manufacturer's or sound device manufacturer's Web site.

You are trying to play a file on the Internet and the server might be temporarily unavailable or there might be a network issue. Try again later.

You are trying to play an MP3 file that contains compressed ID3 headers. The ID3 header is a portion of the file that stores the song's album information (for example, the song name, artist name, album name, and genre). This information is sometimes called a "tag."

To fix the problem, make a copy of the file and then use a non-Microsoft ID3 tag editing program to remove or reset the file's ID3 headers. After you remove the ID3 headers, Windows Media Player should be able to play the MP3 file.

Attempting to remove ID3 headers might damage the file and make it unplayable. Therefore, always make a copy of the file before you edit it.

If this solution does not resolve the problem, the file might be corrupted.

Thanks

Check this
Go to Control Panel / Sound & Audio Devices / Properties / Sound Playback – click on down arrow and check that the correct audio is selected. Typically the problem will be something “modem line 0 playback” has been substituted for the correct audio device.

What audio is it showing

Cheers

i just checked and AC'97 Soundcard is selected as the audio device and thats the one that always has been.

This is the link to Dell drivers, AC'97 is ADI 1885 http://support.euro.dell.com/support...s=WNT5&osl=EN#

I don't think System Restore is available on Win 2000

Hope this helps
