    Dear All,

    On my M9750 laptop (XP Pro) I get a message from dxdiag

    Dxdiag error.error problems getting extra sound info,
    result code = 0x80070057 (invalid argument(s))

    Now I have 2 user accounts on my laptop, 1 for work and 1 for fun. Fun one has the problems ?!?!? I compared the output from dxdiag and it seems that the there is a difference between WmaCDriverV32.
    For the life of me I cannot see how I have differences between 2 users on the same machine. I have reinstalled my creative and RealTek cards and drivers. Not sure how to reinstall these WmaCDriver things.

    On a separate note I'm also getting a bit of colour flashing / breakup running Steam version of FarCry2. Using the NVidia 175.32 Version. Most Games are fine but this is a bit of a problem.

    Any ideas about either would be appreciated.

    Cheers . . . . . .

    Rich
