...is having accelerated audio enabled. This is possible if you have hardware acceleration set to 4/4 or 3/4 in DirectX. The default setting is 4/4, so when you install MM7 you're given the choice of accelerated 3D audio. Enabling that will prevent MM7 from running.Go to your MM7 folder and run 'MM7Setup.Exe'. Make sure that 'Disable Accelerated 3D Audio' is either checked or grayed out. If it's unchecked then you have another problem. If it's grayed out then you have your DirectX Sound hardware acceleration set to eother 1/4 or 2/4 -- and your problem has to do with something else.
If it's checked then uncheck it and try launching again. If the game runs then wait a bit and listen to the sound. If it's choppy then you'll have to reduce the DirectX Sound hardware acceleration. Launch 'dxdiag.exe' in your Windows\system32' folder. Go to the Sound tab. 2/4 works for me.
In any event, please let us know what happens. Thanks!
