Hey people.

I have a problem. When i start up Blacksite it freezes when i try to make a selection in the menu, and after a few minutes it unfreezes it happens every time you try to go to a diffrent menu. And the SP and MP also don't work because they end up with a looping sound crash. Anyways any ideas how can i fix it. ? If anyone else has the game what sound drivers do you use or something that associates with this problem. ?

Ok,..thanks to Eldorn heres how i fixed the looping sound crash an i hope this works for the rest of you,..an although he didnt say "how" he did it, all props go to him for figuring it out,...

click Start/Run,.. then in the command prompt box type "dxdiag" (without the "") an hit enter,..this will bring up your Directx Diagnostic Tool screen,..u will notice there are "Sound 1" and "Sound 2" tabs at the top, click each of these tabs an u will notice each has a slider for "Hardware Sound Acceleration Level",..sliding the sliders all the way to the left will turn Hardware Sound Acceleration off, then just hit exit,..an although im not sure if this is the case for vista users,..this is what worked for me
