I recently bought Resident Evil 2. When I start the game I get an error : "Error. Open Driver" then the game starts but without sound. Here is the configuration of my computer :
Intel Pentium III - 733MHZ
192MB RAM
Nvidia Geforce MX 440
Creative Vibra 128
Windows 98 SE
Direct X 9.Oc
A few hours ago I formatted my computer and after installing windows, I tried the game again and it worked fine with sound and everything. But after I installed some programs like Windows media player, Video and audio codecs etc. it's started showing me the same error. Other games like Civilization III and Resident Evil 3 are working fine.
Here is the recommended configuration for the game :
Pentium 200 MHz, 133 MHz or higher with 3D accelerator card
8X CD ROM
32 Mb RAM
4 Mb DirectX 6 compatible 3D accelerator card
DirectX 6 compatible sound card
DirectInput 6 compatible joypad highly recommended
450 Mb free harddisk space for game data plus 100Mb for swap file
Indeo Video and Audio codecs
Windows 95/98
I have installed Indeo codecs but still can't seem to fix it. Does anyone know what could be wrong?
Also there is a file called Dxdiag.exe in the cd which is an older version. When I open it I get the following:
