The conquerors keeps crashing

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

Hi Rhws,

Your DX diagnostics did indeed find a problem. Here it is:
Sound Tab 1: The file ALCXWDM.SYS is not
digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested
by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You
may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware
manufacturer

Update your sound card drivers Rhws. :-)

| Hi - I have been playing AOK TC for a couple of years and
| it has always worked fine. I recently installed a new
| graphics card (Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128mb) and upgraded
| the memory to 516mb.
|
| Ever since, the game crashes back to the desktop after
| about 10 minutes. The music keeps playing, but according
| to task manager, the game is not running.
|
| My DX diag can't find any problems:
