I've got the game loaded and the graphics look great but I keep getting this error message:" WaveOutOpen. the specified device is already in use. Wait until it is free, and then try again.I can't proceed beyond this message. What is Wave Out Open?

I did a "google" search and came up with this......

"Problem: Starting the game gives you a "Waveout Open" or "Waveout Prepare Header" error message.
Solution: The Windows error message you are receiving indicates that your sound card is in use by another program. This is occasionally caused by another sound program taking control in Windows and not sharing the sound card properly. Programs like Icon Hear It, Wired for Sound or Packard Bell Navigator can cause this type of problem. Some screen savers like After Dark will also access the sound card directly instead of using Windows to produce sounds. You should disable all programs of this type before playing the game."

So check to see if you have a program running in the background that might be tying up your sound card....hope this helps

Hey,

Just spotted this (years late I know ), whilst searching for something else!!

Easy solve is click on OK ( gets you into the game ), then click on the Bugle Icon ( Sound ).
Now switch / turn off both the Music & the Sound effects, by clicking on each check box.
( The game plays as normal without killing the Sound, but will crash when you click on the next turn Icon! )

I guess by now you will have solved this ( somehow ), but this might help someone!!
