Whats your soundcard is it a PCI or PCI-e (1 speed) card or is it onboard?

Also if your on XP you can goto start > run > dxdiag and goto the soundtab and set the hardware acceleration to basic instead of full.

this happens when using the crack? (try using the original exe and disk, see if the problem happens there too)

... and read the PC Games forum FAQ, too.

Graphic card and sound card I was interested in also, but seeing as the game was release way back in 1997, a good chance your hardware is able to run it. You no doubt have Windows XP as royale was a GUI addon than an operating system.

So its a bit difficult to come up with any answers from the blue to diagnose whats wrong with the game, since we cant see whats happening or check your laptop.
