Also please update your sound card driver.

Thank you! I'll try that!

Also try to run GGWAW from the START menu quick start link:

click on START > All Programms > Gary Grigsby's World at War > Gary Grigsby's World at War Quick Start

Still the same error. I updated the ati driver, sound blaster too, and still the same ReClock error.

i tried quick start too, and the same error appeared.

I did some more investigation. Are you running the "ReClock" DirectShow filter http://reclock.free.fr/ ?

I noticed you run a whole lot of not "default WindowsXP" codecs and filters.

i do not know....some of my friends tell me that reclock could have been installed when i installed a codec pack named "ace mega codec pack".....

"Ace mega codec pack" , there we have it. This , and I have experience with codecs and stuff, wrecked my last OS installation of WindowsXP.


The "Ace mega codec pack" is really bad as it forces some nasty stuff on you and is very very unreliable when you try to uninstall it. In general codec packs can really wreck your system if you´re not knowing what you do.


We have three solutions here.

1. update to the latest Windows Media Player. If that does not help try one of the two following suggestions

2. You try to uninstall the Ace Mega Code Pack and see if that helps.

3. You rename the opening videos in the "video" folder (loacted in your installation path of GGWAW: dat\video). The game will then bypass the videos. See if that helps.

matrixintro.wmv
waw_intro.wmv

If yes you will most probably also face problems with the in game videos. So I would recommend to rename the whole "video" folder.

Thank you very much for your help! It works now that i uninstalled that codec pack. Thank you once more!

No problem, glad we have you running.
