	MOO2 Sound Problems Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Hello. I'm currently trying to reinstall an old favorite of mine, MOO2, on my new rig.

The first install ran flawlessly until I tried to change any non-spawn colony's production. That would trigger a quick crash to desktop.

I uninstalled and went about the process of reinstalling. I used the DOS installer by mistake, bringing up the sound check panel.

After a delete of the DOS install, I reinstalled and patched the Win95 version. Now I'm getting no sound. Additional uninstall/install cycles do nothing.

Does anyone know where the sound preferences are so I can delete them?

Here's a parallel thread I posted in another, more general forum: http://arstechnica.infopop.net/Open...75&m=8130932285

YOu don't say what OS, but I would looked at the registry. Here is a forum I recently heard of that may be useful:

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Let tell about my issue. It may be relevant. I had a PC AMD 1900+ with AC97 onboard running XP PRO SP1.
I built this myself. Moo2 worked fine. I got a new PC for E3 (each year) and it was a Pent IV 3.02 GH with aAc97 onboard. Moo2 would make my video a mess and I could not see anything. This did not happen at teh same point. I could play a few or not. I got a Audigy Gamer today and diabled Ac97. Now Moo2 seems just fine. Not sure what that is worth, but I have spent since E3 with Firaxis trying to get PTW to stop crashing. We finally did it after prevetning any sound apps from running. I will be testing to see if now Civ behaves with sound.

Have you tried the DOS version ? Run setsound.exe.
I used to play without sound , until I upgraded my M/board which had an AC97 based sound chip, then the sound was OK.
