For some unknown reason movie scenes (like one in the start of the game) are playing too fast and sound is very erratic. I tryed playing with sound hardware acceleration settings but without results. WIN XP pro, AMD 1,7XP, EPOX RDA+, Radeon 8500LE, 256Mb RAM.... any ideas?

I fixed the problem with an earlier PC I had by disabling the hardware acceleration on the soundcard, which I think is what TC is referring to. Rob

Other settings are all with the same result; too fast. I will try CD-bremse later. TNX. Zgaspar

Another thing you could try is lowering the hardware acceleration on the video card. Right-click on My Computer, select Properties, go to the Performance tab, and click Graphics. Lower the hardware acceleration one notch at a time, and see if it helps. It worked for me in the past. Rob D.
