Okay, I hate to sound retarded, but I know where to locate those registry
thingys, but what do I do, I dont understand what I do with them...delete
them? Sorry to be so ignorant, but the registry scares me so I want to be
sure on what I do...you were really getting the same error (0x80004005) when
you tried to run the DirectPlay Voice Setup? You're the first I've heard of
that knows of it... :) Thank you for taking your time...Ill try this when I
understand what to do!
