Re: GTR2 hangs on main menu click to get into the game proper



Hi Max,

Here's some of Microsoft KB's on SB Live issues:

Recommends updating the driver:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315327

Recommends making it the default sound device:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319595

This article says that if you experience unpredictable results after
installing SB Live drivers, to contact Microsoft for free patch file fixes:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=821995

You can try different Acceleration levels. Click Start / Run
type: dxdiag / click the Sound Tab and move the slider a notch or two.

| Hi, I'm unable to get GTR2 to run in WinXP. My PC satisfies the game specs.

| solid with a garbled continuous sound, forcing a press of the re-start
| button just to clear the PC (Ctrl+Alt+Del couldn't re-start). Uninstalling
