ok, here goes

1:] i do not have the sndscape.ini file you were talking about
2:] my game seems to be the same as before, it still locks, only
now, ctrl+alt+del works.
3:] i have the cd version of P1
4:] i had to reinstall the game because you changed my cd drive
letter on me!!!!! ( from m: to d: ) but it's ok.
5:] sound blaster initialises fine, for the game's config i'm using
general MIDI emulation, and Sound Blaster 16 emulation. the
settings for each i got from sbcfg.exe in my PCI directory.
6:] the music dosn't stop plaing when it freezes now.
7:] (may or may not be usefull) everytime it freezes, my cd drive
starts spinning like there is no tomorow. i don't know if this
matters.
 
I don't think you need the sndscape.ini unless you have an ESS-chip (it seems like you have a Soundblaster). I'm pretty sure I don't, anyway, and I have an ESS Maestro 2.
Hm... Screwy CD-ROM drive, perhaps? Try copying the .TREs to your Priv-directory, and modify the .cfgs accordingly.
 
Hey haltie if you started this thread by mistake you can "edit" your first post in this thread and then click on the "delete post" button in the upper-left corner of the screen. That'll delete the thread.
 
If you copy your game to your hard disk ( re. Mystery Muppet ) you will at least eliminate one variable. There are other bonuses:- faster game loads, no noise from the cd-drive and no problems getting enough memory ( you don´t need to load drivers for your cd-drive).
Point of interest Mystery Muppet: I have an ESS Allegro-1 sound chip on my motherboard and sndscape.ini is nowhere on my hard disk ( I just looked! ). My P1 runs just fine. Took a hell of a long time to find the right settings though!
 
Sorry John but the hd thing interests me. How exactly would i put the game entirly on my HD and make the CD driver unnessessary? i've tryed some stuff but can't get it to work.
