: I have tried everything to get this program to play right.. If I select '
: Gravis Ultrasound Max' (I have a MAX) for the Digital FX, and *NO* music
: card, the game runs FLAWLESSLY (but with *NO* music.). When I select
: 'Gravis Ultrasound' (No 'Max' for music options!? eh??) for music, the game 
: will run fine for about 5 mins then just randomly lock up on me. Ive tried
: different base ports, DMA's, IRQ's, etc.. NOTHING stops the lock ups on
: my MAX when I select 'Gravis Ultrasound' for the music.

Bear in mind that GUS MAX's are totally compatible with the original
ultrasounds.  The only differences are the built-in 16-bit digital recording
feature, CD-ROM interfaces, the presence of hardware sound compression (I
THINK that the GUS has a very limited form), and the fact that the Max comes
with 512k of onboard ram.

: I still dunno why it doesnt say 'Gravis Ultrasound Max' for a music 
: selection, while the Digital FX does have it.. HMMN. 

Me, I'd wonder why it has an entry for max at all under digital..makes me
wonder i there's a feature I don't lknow about..

Assuming you've tried clean boots, I have no idea what the problem is.  You
MIGHT try upgrading your software, but then a)I sincerely doubt this would
fix any problems, since the game doesn't use Gravis drivers - just the
patches, and b)You have a Max, which means that your drivers are (probably)
quite recent anyway.  So....let's hope they can find or have found the bug.
