hello friends,
please help....!!

 

[angie]

try to reinstall your soundcard drivers....
do u have any other OS...
problem is with OS i think, not the game installation..

 

[angie]

can you try the game on a fresh xp installation...? maybe of a friend or someone else...?

Also try patching the game to the latest version... patches are available free of cost..

Ashok, Please reinstall the VC++ program. It is a redistributable..

go here

If it's not working after the reinstall of VC++, try updating drivers.

If that fails, sorry... i don't have any answer.

 

[Ashok Verma]

hey friend... i reinstalled VC++ also updated drivers....
but the problem presists....

now is there any way....!!

Firstly are you using an original CD or a ripped version in which sounds are removed. Also if
it is Max Payne 1 it is not compatible with WinXP and you need the update patch.
