Initially this worked OK although it did hang once or twice towards the end of speech sections. Luckily I was able to get into the save menu, and reloading the save file allowed play to continue.

Since messing about with my soundcard installation - but ultimately going back to the original setup - it has started to hang as soon as any speech occurs - now no audio is played apart from OPL3 music (Re: SB Live + ESS Solo 1 under Windows 98SE?)

It has also always reported a low memory error at launch - see attached images.

Machine is an Athlon XP with SBLive, windows 98se and 512mb. I know it's way too modern for the game, but it did work OK before!

Incidentally, no issues with Sam and Max hit the Road from the same CD...

Cured this by setting the card to use DMA1 (SB Live + ESS Solo 1 under Windows 98SE?)
