ADPCM codec for certain games

i tried replacing the two driver files imaadp32.acm and Msadp32.acm on winxp and it keeps saying initializing directsound failed. im trying the cm8330 files now. what do u do with them? do you put them into the c:\windows\system32 folder?

Thanks Guys i follow the steps and all is working fine! Im on an XP SP2 plataform but now i can enjoy this Private Nurse Game! Thanks a lot :-)

kpkpkp once you have downloaded both files put them in the “c:\windows\system32” folder. Before that backup the original files i put them msadp32.acmVIEJO and Imaadp32acm.OLD is an example you can rename the original files as you want. Then put the dowloaded files in the same folder. I reboot pc and all goes fine “with soud” good luck

Does anybody have both imaadp32.acm and Msadp32.acm version 5.0? I tried the 4.0 version but it doesn’t do anything. I’m currently using win XP sp2. I remembered in earlier post that u should not use version that is prior to 5.0!

WOW!!!
simply amazing!! it works on WinXP SP2...

even if this post is from a year ago i have to say it,
i LOVE you :3

Been more than a year but this was still helpful to me ^^ thanks a lot

H-Games rlz.

I got to give thanks. It works for me. I dont have problems anymore.

Just change the old ones (the downloaded one) for the news (which cames with XP)

it is a movie codec not a game codec

I still have the error message, even when replacing the file with the one for windows98. Any ideas ??
