Hi, i have kings quest 4 - 5 , non cd non windows and i used vmdsound, got them working and everything....then i was getting clicks or pops cant tell at random times (in xp, not related to kings quests games ) anyway, so i uninstalled/reinstalled my snd drivers...didnt fix it, so i thought maybe vmdsound was to blame, so i uninstalled it...didnt restarted, still had the issue, so i reinstalled vmd restarted this time...so right now i dont know what caused the issue, but when i went to run Kings quest 4 - 5, (btw i deleted the vmd shortcuts b/c they didnt run after i uninstalled/reinstalled vmd, so i made new ones) Well when 1 run KQ4 (sierra.exe like i did before and it worked) goes to the "sierra presents grey screen" and freezes and cant move mouse, so i end task, why??? ok When i run KQ5 (kq5.bat like i did before and it worked)
it freezes at a black screen with a cup in the middle that iam think is the mouse pointer but cant mouse, so i end task. the last game KQ6 i run (kq6.bat Like i did before and it worked) i get unable to initialize sound card and i have to end task, now remember all these games work before using vmdsound, what the hell happened?????

Ive yet to see any help to my question about my vmd issue, remember it worked before, so there is no reason to try another application, please lets focus on the issue at hand, and i looked at dbgl it uses java, and i dont like to have that on my system, as its a security risk, and dog i'am trying now, but i would still like to know about the issue,, thanks

Yeah and now it doesn't work because something is screwed up,
so reinstall it. Or don't, but then do NOT complain that it doesn't work.
