MP3 codec?
I am trying to play a game but it keeps refusing to start.
The error message is this one: Failed to initialize sound system The system may be in use by another Application Please close the other Application and hit Retry I have no other apps using the sound. What gives? I read in the readme that I would need an MP3 codec but I dunno what it is. What is it and where do I get it? I am running Windows 2000. TIA

A DOS game?
What's your sound card? First thing I would do is either upgrade the player (some people said they were having probs with version 9, so be careful) or, download a codec package. In my opinion, the upgrade would just be easier. |

Windows game.
My sound card is SB Live! X-Gamer. I'm gonna try the game in my XP Pro computer tomorrow, since the Media Player is a big download and I am on dial-up. If it comes down to codecs, where do I get them? |

If it's an old game I doubt that divx is required, just get a recent WMP version
