I wonder if they could be on the "Master CD"? I will look when I get home.

What worked for me was to roll back the driver's to some older one's, but the real fix was to go into the DirectX trouble shooting section in you system info on your pc and turn down the directX sound acceleration to off! Since doing that all the horrible sound when in vehicles went away! <span id='postcolor'> I did not see this solution posted in this way in any of the other (previous) threads about this. I saw where some said to turn the acceleration off within OFP that seemed to work for some and not for others. I DID see where some said to roll back the drivers to older ones, and this seemed to work for some until either they upgraded to XP or Resistance or both. I wonder if the older drivers are available on the website? I don't have my originals, and since THE COMPUTER was a custom job, I don't have the SB CD. I will try what you said and if it works, I will press your name into a bronzed plaque and hang it on the wall above my computer! ( Still, though, even if it DOES work, we need to hound SB to fix this so that we can have our sound acceleration ON )

And perhaps it would help if you told me exactly which card I need to buy? Yes, if I cannot resolve it with CL, then I will have little choice but to buy some other card and hope that works.

What's worse is that after reading all the other posts about this, it isn't exactly clear which soundcard would actually do it for Win-XP - some say this one, others say that one doesn't work. Besides, having CL fix it helps future users of the game, whereas buying another card helps them not unless they check this forum before buying the game and/or a new computer, which I doubt most will do.

    Women soldiers?

    Well, at least I seem to have backing now for numbers 1 and 5 of my origianl post that got everyone's panties all wadded (not posting, keeping score)... Women do not make good COMBAT soldiers for several reasons: 1) They are physically inferior, 2) They have monthly hormone impacting cycles that affect their readiness, 3) They (in general) do not posses the natural instinct to kill as a male does, 4) They can be physically impregnated by the enemy, 5) They can cause inter-personal issues within a group (not really their fault), 6) It is the male instinct to protect them, which could cause judgement issues.

    I keep trying to stop reading this thread because I am obviously outnumbered and defending a position that I just cannot hold against these odds, but I can't STOP Ok, I'm stopping now, but only after this comment and this is all, I'm not reading this thread anymore My last and I really mean it this time, my last comment on this thread: I sincerely hope that all enemies of the U.S. subscribe to allowing women on the battlefield and in the bush; it will just make our job all the easier when/if (but probably when) the time comes. So yes, fill up your troops with women, and make sure to have plenty of them on sentry duty when the Deadly Recon comes a knockin'.

They fly Hornets and Super Cobras, and can serve as helo crew chiefs (where they would also serve as door gunners). So why don't we let 'em in combat arms fields? After all, some women are physically fit enough. It's because the USMC doesn't NEED them in combat arms. Women in combat units is the solution to a non-existent problem. From a personal perspective: Since laterally moving from the infantry I have met, lived with (barracks), worked with, and even worked for many WM's. (Dated one too -- but enough about that. ) Not one ever expressed a desire to be a grunt. We have a similar situation with our aviators. Some of the services allow pilots to have corrected vision. We don't. Is it discriminatory? Heck no. It's just that we have an ample supply of officers with 20/20, so we don't have to relax standards. Semper Fi<span id='postcolor'> Excellent reply E6! I have to admit that I wasnt aware that the Marines employed women in aviation roles that might lead to combat. I think that sort of casts Barons assertion that there arent any women in the US Marines into doubt. Sounds like BaronVonRed is a closet misogynist.<span id='postcolor'> I expected better from a MODERATOR, but I'll just add that name to the growing stack. A REAL mature move. What are you, twelve? Besides, I said a LONG time ago that I LOVE women, just not in combat. Oh, and by the way: In spring 1991, in the wake of Desert Storm, Colorado Rep. Pat Schroeder introduced a bill to repeal the prohibition against women flying combat missions. While that bill was pending, sexual misbehavior at the annual Tailhook gathering of naval aviators developed into a scandal. The bill passed, allowing women to fly combat missions, and the navy soon began allowing women on combatant ships. In another controversial move, "co-ed" basic training began in 1994. Opponents argue that in basic training and throughout the military, female recruits are held to lower physical standards than men -- or that standards for both have been weakened to allow women to pass. "The services are always looking at physical fitness standards. The standards between men and women are different," says Lt. Col. Susan Kolb, spokesperson for the Defense Advisory Committee On Women In The Services (DACOWITS).

    * 1996: Twelve soldiers at Maryland's Aberdeen Proving Ground were accused of abusing female recruits; Staff Sgt. Delmar Simpson, a drill instructor, was convicted of six counts of rape. * 1997: Lt. Kelly Flinn, the first woman to pilot a B-52 bomber, was discharged from the Air Force after having an affair with a married civilian and continuing the affair after being ordered to end it. * 1997: Gene McKinney, the most senior enlisted man in the Army, was court-martialed for sexual harassment and obstruction of justice. Acquitted of the harassment charges but convicted of obstruction, he was dropped in rank and reprimanded. * 1999: Command Sgt. Major Riley Miller, the Army's most senior enlisted man in Europe, was accused of sexually assaulting a female subordinate. * 2000: Maj. Gen. Larry G. Smith was accused of sexual harassment by the highest-ranking woman in Army history, Lt. Gen. Claudia Kennedy. Smith was being considered to head the inspector-general's office; in that post, he would have been responsible for investigating harassment claims.

I really DID explain why women and man are equally used in military nowadays. I have military experience in that and I guess many others were able to follow my posts here. Why do you take part in a discussion if you feel to ignore others ? Better talk to your TV set then. I am really sorry, but the only one that is a bit off here is you. Totally. If you cant separate facts from personal meanings it´s not my problem. But even the blindest reader should see that you stand pretty alone with your chauvinistic, sexist, teenage thinking. Answer the question you have been asked many times now: Have you been to army and have you coworked with the women you tend to discriminate here ? Have you ? It´s you that insults people not me. And whining seems to be your favour, not mine. I am grown up.<span id='postcolor'> Call me all the names you want cause I could care less what YOUR opinion of me is and no matter how many names you come up with for me, it still ain't gonna change the facts, and the big fact that remains is that women don't make good combat soldiers. And why are you so concerned with my military background? Is it because you SAY you have one? Does that make it a FACT? And saying that makes you feel special? Like only YOU now have a say? I can talk all about my 10 years as a U.S. Marine and my 9+ years as a Navy SEAL, where I was wounded and unable to return to combat, and my current post, which I CAN'T tell you about (I'm 40 years old - you do the math), but what would be the point? Saying it doesn't make it so. I can SAY anything I want just like you can SAY anything YOU want, but why bother, you're just going to revert to more name-calling anyway no matter what I say.... Question for YOU Mr. Military man: Have YOU ever seen a U.S. Marine up close and personal? This is my last post on this issue. Too many people with bleedin' hearts and no grasp of reality.
