Does anyone know how to handle openAL problems?  I've got an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M Video Card.  I've attached my FS2_Open file.  I get a warning upon starting FS2 Open that says that I need to update my openAL drivers.  I've already downloaded the driver from creative labs and ran it.  It tells me that OpenAL has loaded.  However, once I run the launcher I get the warning to update my OpenAL drivers to 1.1 and the FS2 Open Launcher does not show "generic software sound" at all - when FS2 Open runs, it runs perfectly, except without any sound effects, voiceovers, or music.  Any ideas?  Thanks,  MPS

Eek! Please move everything with an MV prefix, as well as 3613_update.vp, into a subfolder called mediavps_3612.

Move sync.vp into a subfolder called 'sync'.

[The E]

Please install OpenAL from here: http://climpxwss01.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip

Should that not work, try OpenAL Soft: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal-soft-1.12.854-bin.zip

Place the  dll files in that package in the FS2 folder.

Also, please do what General B said. When installing a mod, follow the install instructions or use the online installer. Never, ever place vp files in the main FS2 directory, unless you know exactly what you are doing.
