Hi Mark, Just to make sure that everything is OK with your shortcuts: - Highlight the "launch Audio Quake" shortcut in your programs menu; - Press the apps-key and go to properties - in the "target" field you should read: ""C:\Program Files\AudioQuake\perl.exe" start.pl" - in the "start from" field you should read: "C:\Program Files\AudioQuake"
If sapi5 is working, the game should run without any problem. If not, you can allways try the folowing: - Open Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt - type "cd.." and press enter - repeat the last step untill you see "c:\" - type "cd Program Files\AudioQuake\" and press enter (assuming you've installed in the default location) - type "perl.exe start.pl" and press enter" I really hope this works...
