Guybrush122 Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 GRRRR! I know i should be posting this in trouble shooting but...I cant get my frikin CMI to frikin work, since a reinstalled ME it wont work. it says my directX drivers dont meet their requirments, their requirements are DirectX 5, i have 8.0a!!!! And im positive i have 8.0a because i just redowloaded it yesterday! GRRRRR!is it the fact that i need DirectX 5 no more no less? its so weird! And the game runs fine but when ever a cut scene appears it freezes, right in the frikin middle! Im reall reall ****ed off (im beginning to feel like that guy in the shining) PAPAPISHU! CMI says (when they compare their requirements to my version) that i have version 4 of DirectX when i know i have DirectX 8.0a??? HELP! PLEASE! ------------------ Did I Mention That I Am Marrying Myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guybrush122 Posted August 22, 2001 Author Share Posted August 22, 2001 aha! i figured something out (i still need help) but my DirectX is fine but my DirectX Sound Drivers arent. It also say my SB Live (sound utillity) is certified but my Sound Device called 'Game Compatable Device' is not working. Nor is my sound driver! These two things (game comptible device and sound driver) are the things that CMI have no hardware support for. WTF? ------------------ Did I Mention That I Am Marrying Myself?

Jorgito_Vaderman Posted August 23, 2001 Share Posted August 23, 2001 Ok, Im evil. But im also a computer technician and I will help you. Ok. First thing you must do: -Uninstall (From control Panel=> Add/Remove Progs) Anything you have from Creative Sound Blaster. -Download Live!Ware 3.0 from www.soundblaster.com and install it. -Now install DirectX 8a again. -Now it should work fine. -If it still not working, go to www.lucasarts.com web and download a patch from there. (telling you that cuz with Episode 1 it wont work with DirectX 8 until you install the patch) Please, tell me if that worked out. Good luck!

Guybrush122 Posted August 23, 2001 Author Share Posted August 23, 2001 what you mean by Creative Soundblaster is (im assuming) anything with creative on my system?

What im trying to ask is, does the deletion include PlayCenter? Ok, you are telling me you have a Sound Blaster Live! I think! The manufacturer is Creative! And you dont HAVE TO uninstall Creative Center 2.x, but its recommended... If you have installed, you also have the installation program, so there is no problem uninstalling it. We are having a problem with your Creative SoundBlaster, so you should re-install (after uninstalling) everything from Creative that has something to do with sound. ( the creative SBLive! port for games its part of the Soundcard itself, and also has its own drivers) So do as I told you. Uninstall Everithing from Creative (that has something to do with sound) and install Live!Ware 3 etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guybrush122 Posted August 23, 2001 Author Share Posted August 23, 2001 well, when i first tried it it kept on freezing during cuscenes, only cutscenes. everything else was working fine. so when i looked up troubleshooting then it told me to check my directx and compare with the monkey island needs, this is EXACTLY what it said: DirectDraw---Certified Direct3d---Certified DirectSound---Certified PrimarySoundDriver---No hardware support GameCompatibleDevice(emulated)--No hardware support SB Live!---Certified DirectPlay----Certified After i did as instructed the comparison still remained the same (and the game still crashed) ------------------ Did I Mention That I Am Marrying Myself?

Jorgito_Vaderman Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 Hallo again! Sorry for the delay. I tried to find what was going on your computer. So after seeing what it could be, I got the bright idea of installing the SBLIVE! 51201 WDM drivers! And voila! Windows gave me the same message as you! So thats what I did: reInstall Creative Live!Ware 3.0 Dont reestart windows. Go to System=> hardware list and remove the Creative Game port thinnie. And when I restarted, everything came back to life! ------------------ My name is Bobbin, are you my mother? Yeah! I work there!
