I have turned off the music and have been using a nice MP3 player (winAMP) to play SOME of the songs from EU2. All you have to do is arrange the songs on a playlist, and Save that play list in your Eu2 Dir. Click "continuous play" and your set for that - but wait, you aint done yet!
Sound accelleration CTDs are VERY common among the Games out there. Turn down your Sound Acceleration like this:
Click Start/settings/Control Panel/Multimedia/playback advanced properties/performance - From here, Bring the Top Slider bar down to the Second-to-last notch and Click OK. That's It.
Your not done Yet!
Check your drivers. This can be done be going to your Computer Manufacturer's Website and Checking for the lastest drivers for your Computer. Download any new ones.
Also check Direct-X. DirectX will sometimes corrupt under Windows 98. You should Check it by going through dxdiag.exe in your C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM Directory (Where "C" is your main HD Letter). Open it and go to the "Display" tab. From there, you should test all three DirectDraw, Direct 3D, and AGP texturing from there. After that, go to the tab "SOUND" and test DirectSound. When your done with that, Test the Game out.
If you fixed any problems that were occuring you're better off now.
Be sure to also Change your virtual Memory settings. You can do this my right-clicking on "my Computer" and left-click on properties. Click the performance tab, and then click "Virtual Memory" now, If you haven't done this already, you should click on "Let me specify my own settings". Specify which Hard Drive is your main HD, and adjust the Min/max settings as this:
MINIMUM: 320
MAXIMUM: 1000
Click OK and click "Yes". If you have 1 GB of HD space free, these changes shouldn't adversely affect your system (other then increasing VM and helping EU2).
Now, Hopefully, you will have enough VM to run EU2 properly. You can allocate as much HD space as you want to VM, but after a certain point, it won't improve it anymore.
Hopefully they will fix any of your problems.
