sound delay in spide solitaire

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.games (More info?)

I recently updated hardward drivers on my ThinkPad T40 and ever since then
I've experienced a sound delay when I play Spider Solitaire. I uninstalled
and then reinstalled the game, but I still have the sound delay. The delay
only occurs when new cards are dealt. The game works fine, but the delay is
kind of annoying. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I tried this out, but unfortunately, the problem is not fixed. I noticed,
though, when I play an audio file while I'm playing spider solitaire, I don't
have the problem.
