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.

I've downloaded patch made for the game now all that is gone

but there's one problem left I can't save when I go to the save menu

I get the message " libsys error ls_error 8 BMAP BMAP video init error "


any idea how to fix this

thnx

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.

I Know , I have the original CD and EXE tried the original it's because the

have it work .

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.
