Hi!

I don't know if the following issue has come up before - couldn't find anything in the FAQ, or on the board.

Following Problem:
VDMSound used to work just fine (playing Warlords II Deluxe)

I didn't play it for some months - just today I tried it again - and vdmsound doesn't start anymore.
The DOS screen comes up and says:

##########

VDMSound DOS loader, version 2.01 (Aug 04 2001)
Copyright (C) 2000-2001 Vlad ROMASCANU.

VDMSound is covered by the GNU Public License (GPL), version 2 or later, as

Loading VDDLoader...
##########

Than nothing at all happens...
(using VDMSound 2.1 beta)

Log Message says:
###
@I - 00:04:41.253 - VDMServicesProvider
VDMServices initialized (hInstance = 0x10000000)
###

I'm not aware that I changed much on my system lately (appart from installing XP SP2) (btw I'm running XP Professional - now SP 2).

I tried uninstalling/ installing VDMSound and even tried Version 2.04 (same result). (tried that regscr32 atl.dll also - to no avail)

Does anybody have a clue what might be wrong?

Regards Chris

I have the same problem. When trying to set-up Gods to run in VMD I get the message "Loading 'VDDLoader.dll'..." and then nothing.....just sits there. A VMD shorcut is created but that doesn't work at all. Have tried the previous version of VMD..........that didn't wanna play either 🙁. Game plays OK without VMD just no sound. Any help would be appreciated.
