Well done fgetting it sorted youself. Many lesser men/women just go "OMG the game broken!!" and throw their toys out of their pram. Yes, that 5 year old sound driver was a bit long in the tooth.

Enjoy the game.

I didn't even realize it worked with Windows ME, or at least as well as anything can work using ME.
