I got it workin 2 nites ago without sound. Didn't have to change anything. I have XP celron 1.7 gigahertz 256 ram nvidia geforce2 vid card

I've just checked all the files and they are not located anywhere else. They are under c:\windows\system32 but I unzipped the update to there before and it never asked me to overwrite something so I suspect that that's not the right folder where it installs to. Can anyone tell me where it's supposed …

yup thats exactly what I did with a few of the files and they never showed up. I'll do it with the file u suggested though and see what happens.

THe one problem is I cannot find the VDMSound 2.0.4 installation folder. Like when I click install it doesn't tell me where it installed to. I've done searches on my comp and I can't figure where it's installing files too.

Hmm, please bare with me, as I am quite a newbie. I'm not too sure what exactly you mean, but I right-clicked the game, and then went to run with VDMS, then altered the DMA polling periods to 1/3.

Okay well I finially figured out how to work it. But ther's still a problem. WHen I open with VDMS, I changed the dma polling periods to 1/3 like it says on this site. THe problem is I always get an erro r and I can't open the program. It says: Debug Assertion Failed! Program C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe …

Thanks for the reply, but I couldn't figure out how to do either of those things. I installed launchpad, and I couldn't figure out where it installed to. So I didn't know where to execute from. I also don't have the file VDMS.INI on my computer.

How do I change the DMA polling periods for Darksun? I've tried for an hour, please someone tell me.
