This is pretty basic but since you're trying everything, did you reinstall DirectX? Especially afrter installing new sound/video drivers?

I'm using a different sound library than I used in Campaigns on the Danube but sound does seem to be the bane of my existence and so its always the first thing I think of when there's a problem like this. However, I'm not sure that's the case here.

Looking at your Dr Watson my guess would be that your GoA download is corrupted in some manner because it looks like it can't load the files/resources its supposed to be loading. May I ask you to select your GoA folder and click properties and tell me how many files/folders there are and the size in mbs?

That's weird, thats more than I have in mine. I have 439 files in 10 folders, for about 245 mb. Could you do the same for just the contents of your Goa/Graphics folder and your GoA/Sound folder?

To anyone else, does the contents of your overall GoA folder match mine or Haplo's? (minus savedgames)

I also have 387 files in Graphics.

However, I have only 2 subfolders in Graphics, "Buttons" and "Counters". In Sound I have no subfolders.

What are the names of those additional subfolders?

473 files (less 12 saved games) and 16 folders at 291 megs. Mine locks up with sound on or off with the "Device already open" dialog. So I quit playing two weeks ago.

I installed the two patches and the problem is still here. First, i tried with the sound patch but i had the same error. Then i uninstalled GoA, installed it again with the no sound patch...nope, the same error again.

I'm going to try with another pc i have and see what happens.

Hmm, so it has nothing to do with the sound library then. Strange, I can't imagine why it wouldn't run otherwise, its just a basic Windows GDI program, nothing unusual at all.
