Spring RTS Engine

Okay, so my friend doesn't have a sound card on his computer. He wants to play Spring, but when it loads, it gives him a fatal error about Direct Sound on object or something. My question is..

"Is there a work around to disable all sounds within Spring, so this error won't happen?"

Are there any other workarounds? Thanks in advance. :wink:

From: http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtop ... rect+sound

Will that work? Also, is there any other suggestions?

Yes that will work.

Apart from recompiling Spring without sound I don't know any other solutions/workarounds.

Now I need to know where to locate Software\SJ\Spring? And what does IIRC stand for?

Edit: I've found the file 'settingstemplate.xml', is this what I need to edit?

Thanks for your help.

1. start->run regedit (then go under HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
2. if I recall correctly
3. no

It finally worked. Thanks people. :P

Now my friend and I can finally play. :-)
