Title: Error message running AH on new install
Post by: Swoop on June 19, 2002, 11:55:04 PM
System:

Some old 500Mhz heap with no sound card and a crappy video card, running Win 2000  (the office PC).  I have admin rights.

Game installs fine but when running AH I get the error:
"The ordinal 12 could not be located in the dynamic link library DSOUND.DLL"


Ok, so what do I do to get around this one?

AH doesnt work without a soundcard?   Aw balls, really?  There's no way around this?



I installed DX8.1 for win2k, gets a little further this time......now I got as far as choosing the video mode (selected 8x6, 16bit) and then the game tried to start......only to fail with:

initialization failed with -5
mainSN_FAILED -2


Wassat mean then?
