Khalid021:
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. I have
Intel Pentium III - 733MHZ
192MB RAM
Windows 98 2nd Edition
Nvidia Geforce MX 440
Creative Vibra 128
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.

Followings are required for this game:

-DirectX 6 or higher
-Indeo video and audio codecs

I have installed Indeo codecs but still can't seem to fix it. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Sandra:
Hi Khalid and :welcome:

Have you tried rebooting and then seeing if that game will play, before you open any other game or program ?

It seems as if something using the codec it needs and not releasing it for some reason but I havent heard of that before  ???

Will Resident Evil 2 and 3 install on the same pc without conflicting with other  ???

Khalid021:
Yes, I have rebooted many times but still nothing. I had installed resident evil 3 before formatting. No other games are installed in my computer now.

Sandra:
I cant find anything specific to try but maybe you could try dropping the hardware acceleration in your audio properties/advanced part and see if that cures the fault.
Maybe try a different compatability mode in case it has a problem with XP  ???

Khalid021:
I did what you told me to do but still no luck.
:(
