Inside your sp3 folder there is a file called "setsound"
some machines require you set up your sound card to work properly with sp3, spww2 ect ect.
just double click it an follow the prompts.

I disagree whole heartedly on throwing away Steel Panthers III. I think its best of the lot, (save SPWAW) it will work for sure if you run setsound.exe and set it to run without sound. It's very likely that it will properly run if you set it to generic sound blaster, but no sound is always an option and almost a guaranteed one.

What kind of sound card is it? I play SP3 on a 933mhz PIII with a Sound Blaster LIVE! and it works great. I have to run CPUkiller to slow the game down to make it playable. Try going into the game directory run the program soundset.exe. If you don't find your card, try picking the "sound blaster or compatiable" option. Sometimes cards are compatiable with SB.

Hope it works.
If it bleeds, we can kill it.

Thanks, that is the problem, I am not using any SB sound card...I bought an acer 933 with their Acer sound card...not compatible with SB though.....
