Problems With SP:WAW

Hello gentlemen-
I apologize if this has come up before but I will rephrase it.
I cannot run SP:WAW because of the dreaded vid998.smk problem. The file vid998.smk is in my snd\stream folder. But the program always says it cannot find it.
I appreciate any advice you might have.
Thanks,
Matt Reeves.

It seems like you'll have to download the vid998.smk file and copy it manually to your
C:\MatrixGames\Steel Panthers World At War\SND\stream folder.
You can download the vid998.smk file from:
Matrix Games FTP Server
Games Domain FTP Server
and from
Cirrus Website
Hope this helps,
Fab

Also run scandisk on your drive and defrag it, its a big file and if you have "lost clusters" breaking it up, it could have become corrupted.
Good disk hygiene will solve lots of troubles

Hello Fabian-
I have to ask, why do I need to download it if I already have the file?
Howdy Paul-
Did what you said, to no avail
Is there anything else that can be done?

It would seem the file is corrupted.

Yeah, there's something wrong w/ the game file it self. I also had to dl the video separately and I remember I wasn't the only one.
