hi
i'm getting an annoying "blue screen" windows error concerning direct sound whenever I complete the Secret Project "The Universal
Translator". Always, either just after i say zoom to city and before the movie starts or just after the movie ends i get the dreaded
blue screen with this error:
A fatal exception 00 has occured at 0028:C130BFEB in VXD DSOUND(03) + 000005BB
do you know how i can fix this? my hardware is configured correctly, i've never had a problem like this with any other games, and i
reinstalled the direct x included on the CD
I installed the v2.0 patch and then the v3.0 patch and then re installed direct x

What's your soundcard? Make sure you've set both EAX and DS3D to 0 in the alpha centauri.ini file. Also, you don't need to apply patch 2.0 prior to patch 3.0, though I don't think that's the problem here.
