Comment: I have XP Pro and can install both X-Wing Alliance and the update fine, but the music suddenly starts to skip at random moments. It's the only game I own that this happens to. The only way to fix it is to exit the game and restart. As you can imagine, this kinda sucks for immersion. There is also the issue of the text being a bit visually whack during missions, but I can stand that at the moment; I REALLY want to fix the music problem! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reply: (edit)I don't have a seperate soundcard; my motherboard IS my soundcard (latest drivers installed). The quality of the sound is set to Normal, with 16 channels, 3D sound Off. I'm pretty sure this was an issue even when I had a sound blaster installed a while back.

Reply: (edit)Yes, I've installed the latest patch. From experimentation, it seems to be connected either with the overall processing power of my PC or the very speed of the HD it's installed on itself.

Reply: (edit)Not only do I know for a fact that having Service Pack 2 does not fix this problem, but everytime I have ever installed SP2 on any system I have ever had, stability went out the window. I know many people who are either PC-philes or work in the IT field, and they all tell me SP2 is a nightmare -- one that Microsoft in all their brilliant stupidity requires you to install in a business environment. I ain't a business environment. The same can be said of the .NET Framework, although the effects aren't quite as bad. Unfortunately, I need .NET for some things I do. b---tard Microsoft.

Reply: (edit)hmm.. Well actually people 'in the know' about IT know that SP2 runs fine as long as there is nothing wrong on your system to begin with. Providing you know for sure that there is no spyware/malware on your machine, and that all your drivers are up to date SP2 should run like a dream. I'd try that first before anything, but that's up to you I guess. AMD Athlon XP 1.8GHz
