| 253432 | 2004-07-19 03:35:00 | I purchased a game called Gizmos and Gadgets from dicks smith, and i KNEW it would work only on a win95 computer, but also i knew that i can change compatibility in winxp... so i did that, and installed it its perfect, but went to start the game and it says " the midi driver for your sound card cannot be found, make sure drivers etc are installed before restarting gizmos and gadgets" but when i use other applications the sound is brilliant as i ask my neighbour to listen, as i'm deaf. I have played gizmos before when i was younger and i was still deaf then so i know SOUND is not required for me to actually play the game.. So how do i bypass this error and continue playing the game without sound, as the only option it gives me with the error is "exit" am using winxp home :) |

| 253433 | 2004-07-19 04:17:00 | Is there an option in the game for the setup of the sound card? It might even be a seperate program you have to run. Then tell it you don't have a midi device. |

| 253438 | 2004-07-19 04:50:00 | Oh! :D What about when you installed it? Did it ask about your sound card at all? |

| 253439 | 2004-07-19 04:57:00 | nope, it only asked where i want to install it and the folder name if i wished to change it for the start menu... and the registration too... |

| 253440 | 2004-07-19 05:09:00 | Ok, something else to check then. Does you PC have an on-board sound card? If so there may be an option in the BIOS to enable the midi port on it. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 253441 | 2004-07-19 05:10:00 | its a laptop and how do i access the bios for the sound to check :) | csinclair83 (200) | ||
