  Don't think that's it, it is sharing with usb and pci bus only, not any
hard drive..... Also, I would think that the other C&C games, and other
programs would have problems also, but they don't... I think it has
something to do with accessing the CDROMs, as the intermittent blanking of
sounds will occur after it is reading the CDroms from the DVD or CDRW
Drive..... It may be how the video files are stored that my computer doesn't
like...

  I have an oem soundblaster card.  I'll check the gateway site for an
update.
