Get back on topic please. This thread is not about how to make Settlers II Gold to work sound with Win XP. That issue is extremely old and already been solved often already (by using DOSBox or VDMSound).

All machines are different. Let's try to make the starter of this thread able to play the game on his machine.

We might help him, if he answers questions asked just after the first post.

Well... he said that he got the usual COM2 problem.. I told him to click ignore.. so?

Second and last warning before I close this thread.

I am also having this error message, I also tried the ignore button. I then get a black screen that just sits there till I shut down the program. Although I can run arena just fine in dosbox this program will not run. I get that same black screen. Now this wasn't mentioned before but are others having the com2 error message also using an optical mouse? Does that have anything to do with this problem? Odd that the install/setup menu for sound will use my mouse. Just not the game.

Please do not resurect old threads from the death. Create yourself a new and personal thread about your problem.

Registering would not be bad either.
