Earthworm Jim Special Edition - 06/14/03 04:53 AM

I have a problem running this game on Windows XP. The game runs fine but the sound is the problem. There is no sound and all the sound settings in the game are greyed out. I have tried different compatibility layers but to no avail. Has anyone gotten this game to work? Thanks for any help in advance.

I've got QFixApp settings recorded that I was using - it's been a while since I played, but as I remeber I had everything working... (if you don't have QFixApp, download the Application Compatibility Toolkit from Microsoft) Try turning on:[list][*]DelayWinMMCallback[*]Force8BitColor[*]IgnoreMessageBox[*]Win95VersionLie[/list:u]Of course only the first one has to do with sound. Hope this helps you...

BTW - just to explain how I got this: WinXP comes with a fix for Earthworm Jim with the program worm.exe. My game has an executable of EWJIM3.exe, so I just copied the setting from the existing one. Then the 8 bit color one I added because I was having some weird color issues...
