Hi Everyone, I am new here and a beginner with Computers, please be patient with me. I am trying to get the sound to work on a game called Dune 2. Vlad told me what to download, but I am at a loss of how to make it work. I am running Windows ME, with a Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Gammer, ATI 7200 Video Card. I would appretiate any help that you could give me.

My advice, upgrade your operating system. Seriously. Windows 98 is an upgrade from that piece of crap. 😜

Yes, it’s my fault.

Thanks Snover, you aren't the first person to tell me that. I am seriously thinking of changing, all I've had are problems with this OS. Everytime I get an update (live update) something else gets screwed up.😜

Are these sites still up?

They work fine for me - perhaps the server was slow/down earlier?

The links do work fine, I just havn't figured out how to use the information in them yet.

If his http://users.aol.com/axcel216/ address is busy, try his http://members.aol.com/axcel216/ address. Either way those AOL servers can get "busy".

Here are the direct links for three of the unofficial patches for "re-enabling" DOS in ME:

http://www.geocities.com/mfd4life_2000/
http://www.surfsites.net/deadknight/wmedos/
http://www.overclockers.com.au/techstuff/a_dos_me/

BTW, Axcel216 tends to use a lot of technical jargon, but just be patient and read carefully and you'll find huge amounts of info.

http://members.aol.com/axcel216/wme.htm is the WinME Tweaks, Secrets, BUGs + FIXes page.

Amusingly ironic that such a knowledgable guy would be using AOL.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Well, his site has been around for so long that it would probably just confuse everyone if he moved. Besides, he has various AOL tips too. 😉
