I ask because there are updated drivers for most Soundblaster cards.
Perhaps if you go to Soundblaster.com and select support, you can find you model there.

Robert, yes on one of my 1.4 Ghz machines I regularly see pauses where the game will jump several hours when running at the top speed. I would consider that quite normal.
The SoundBlaster Live cards haven't had driver updates for several years, they are quite stable as of 2001.

There are 2003 deivers for some and most have atleast drivers that came out in 2002.
Robert68, I belive Mithel has a point. Or even two.
Still, if you want to narrow it down further;
I think a good thing to do here now is to go back to the description of the problem. Could you say something more about these slowdowns please? It seems to me you describe different angles of the problems in the above posts of yours.
The problem with the music could be a separate problem (I am not saying it is).

I did upgrade me directx to the latest and the game runs a little bit better but still slow.It seams to help some to delete some of the saved games from time to time.

Well it was the NA site I looked at. And there were drivers, obviously the Eurpean site is different, and there are no drivers available there. 
Have you defragmented your drive lately?

Ok can i use the NA drivers? yes i defragmented for 3-4 days ago first time for a year i took 2 hours hehe.
Have no idea really, I would think the cards are the same but I am not sure.
You could e-mail them and ask why there are newer drivers on the NA site.

I just don't see how changing the language means you have to use 3 year old drivers.
What unit icons do you use? (NATO symbols or animated sprites?)
Do you switch now and then during game play or do you use the same set of icons all the time?
Also, what disk drive have you installed HOI on? I noticed that it says F on the Windows disk. Not saying this is a problem, but I have noticed more than once that people having similar problems have had Windows on something else than C. Of course, this shouldn't be a problem... but...
Have you ever run HOI on the same disk drive as that with \Windows? Did you have problems then?

If so can you reccomend one? thanks again for the help.
Castellon, there is nothing weird about having a multi boot, even with identical OS versions. For example, the home PC's of several employees of one of our customers have this with Win2K. One is used for business, while they work at home, and one for private use.
What IS a little weird, is the reliance on Microsoft's multi boot. That doesn't do a good job of separating the OS boot partitions. A better solution would be something like BootMagic from PowerQuest. That really separates the OS's to the point that one partition hides the other, so viral infections cannot spread from one boot to the other, or applications mess around with the wrong registry files, program files folder or start menu.
I personally have 3 separate C partitions, and a logical D with OS/2 Warp 4 installed on it, all managed by BootMagic.

Actually i made a new os then i buyed a new harddrive becuse there where some trouble starting it the comp on the orginal 1 i think about removing the xp on the d disk so i only have 1 also then i start my comp on the d drive i have to many programs running in the background they are not running in the background then i use the f drive xp so its much faster but hoi is still slow i wonder if the d xp could somehow slow down the f xp and if it would help to remove it?. I know that was not a good text gramathicly but i hope you get it my english isn´t perfect.
