ScinteX 0 Posted September 2, 2004 This is a shot in the dark but try the following: Get the latest sound card drivers Get the latest Directx Easiest one is probably the directx, download here Next up is the soundcard - or built in sound. Either way find the most up to date driver from either the sound card company or the vendor of your pc. Share this post Link to post

iq454 0 Posted September 11, 2004 Google is a good place to find out what eroror codes mean. In your case "Error Code : 88780078". Give him your sound cards model, if this is too technical for you to find, then try and find what sound card brand it is atleast, he would then be able to direct you in the right direction. The more information you can give, the easier it would be for him (or anyone that knows) to fix your problem in timely manner, and will be less confusing for everybody who responds. PS: If you're totally new to computers, say that you're a total "newbie" in your posts so we can atleast know what your knowledge is and how technical to be with you. Share this post Link to post
