Ajguy Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 I just preordered Armand and Dangerous and got a scrumptious, Windows XP compatible version of Sam and Max for my troubles. The game starts off working perfectly while in Windows XP! Too good to be true I thought. I was right. When I first enter the Carnival tent, I loose all voice from then on out. This has happened on more than one computer too. Anyone else have this happen or knwo how to fix it? Lucas Arts can't promise me a Windows XP version of Sam and Max with no voices!
scabb Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 You could always run it in ScummVM - Download ScummVM Quick & Easy, click auto-update to grab the latest build of ScummVM and you should be set to go.
Ray Jones Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 it runs perfectly with VDMSound for me. hmmm.. but if you prefer windowed mode.. listen to scabb.
Ajguy Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Wow! Neither works! I can't get Q&E to launch it, VDMSound doesn't load the sound drivers, and ScummVM plays exactly the same problem as before. I wonder if it's something wrong with one of the files on the disc?

(you can edit the path later the usual way too) should work for xp/2k.
Ajguy Posted October 24, 2003 Author Posted October 24, 2003 Wait a sec, you lost me. Where exactly is the VDMsound link? How do I create that. Is that part of Q&E or just part of VDMSound. I appreciate everyone's help. I'm so desperate to play through this game again!
Ray Jones Posted October 24, 2003 Posted October 24, 2003 q&e has a vdmsound mode too.. i'm using ONLY vdmsound without q&e (ok.. i'm a player.. i set up all three.. vdmsound, scummvm and q&e.. but i only USE vdmsound ) err.. wait. i use vdmsound with the vdmsound launchpad. it enables an option like "launch with vdmsound" in the contextmenu (in our case if you r'clicking the samnmax.exe) and this creates the vdms-link (i think it has the extension .vdl) and then starts the samnmax.exe. you'll find the link in the directory where the exefile is. you can get the launchpad where you get the vdmsound software. i dont remember the url.. just google for "vdmsound" .. come back and hit me if it still doesnt works.
