Problems with sound & installation

[maz35]

I have the patched version running on XP and after a very short time the sound stutters and crashes and here the lastcouple of second of it like broken record.

 

This was on a minimum installation so i decided to try a full install to run from the HD using that updated launcher. This revealed a bigger problem, while copying files across the installer hangs and produces an error message about copying across VOX0001.LAB. It appears this file is corrupt as trying to copy it across manually doent work either.

 

Would this explain the sound errors at the start of the game or is that an unrelated problem.

Also given that this file is corrupt would it be possible to obtain a replacement file.

if you have a mutli-cpu or an intel cpu with HT, that may be the problem...

 

granted, if the file really is corrupt that could be the problem too... if you run the game in compatability mode for 95 or 98/ME (doing the min install since the full wont work) and the sound works fine (but the movies play like they are suffering from sever spasms) and you have the above stated CPU, then that is the issue and I refer you to http://www.ninth-world.com/giFAQ.php

 

otherwise you may be S.O.L.

Thanks for the help, the game works fine up to a point.

The game stutters with the sound and then crashes when you reach that machine after returning Glottis heart. If you disable sound the crash doesnt happen.

This crash is identical to what happens on my old Win98 machine.

This would indicate to me that its trying and failing to access the corrupt VOX0001.LAB. So it look like I have to replace the file.

Is there any way for me to get that?

If you still have the CD, make an ISO disc image of it and then extract the file from the image using MagicISO (download.com)
