Hi Guys,

Just replaced my motherboard, and now when i start, or try to, the game I get the following error message.


Intialization failed with -5
MainSN-FAILED -2


I tried reinstalling the game, but got the same message.

Any ideas?

That indicates a sound card intialization failure.  Check your sound card in DXDIAG (Start->Run->DXDIAG and select the Sound tab and run the diags).
Also make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed.  You can get the latest DirectX from http://www.microsoft.com/directx
