No Sound for SS 4.1

Hey,

Just installed stainless steel 4.1 for Medieval 2, and its all working fine apart from the sound. I can hear only the music but no other types of sound. Ive tried deleting the events.idx and events.dax and replacing them with the vanilla files as suggested in the FAQ, but it doesnt seem to work. Would running Vista have anythin g to do with this?

When you delete the events.idx and events.dat, don't replace them with anything. The game will rebuild them when you next start it.

As for Vista, there is something about a thing called "compatibility files" or some crap like that. Some files are stored there that could be affecting the mod. As a non-Vista user I'm afraid I can't be more specific

Cheers for the advice but still no luck. The background thunder is there in the startup but nothing else. With these compatibility problems should i give up on getting sound or is there some kind of fix?

Thanks

Just curious why are you using SS 4.1?

Yeah I just havent got round to buying kingdoms yet. I heard the 4.1 version was still really good so I thoght I'd give it a try, but it seems on Vista the sound is completely screwed up.
