Intro: Not new to SWR, but new to the forum. I've been playing SWR off-and-on since it first came out. I decided to try playing it on my current gaming PC (WinVista64) but it would'nt install. I searched and found these forums (great SWR resource ), read about modding the O/S etc and decided to go the VM route instead. I installed VMWare Player, dug out my old Win98 CD and created a VM, installed SWR but no go, the game always crashed on launch. I actually read the SWR readme.txt and it stated there could be page faults on startup if there were issues with the sound card. I hunted in the O/S Device Manager and there was no sound card, searched on the VMWare forum and the general consensus was to install SoundBlaster PCI128 drivers. I did that, Windows found a sound card, launched the game and I'm playing again. Thanks to everyone for putting together this fantastic resource for SWR
