Hmm, not sure about that - I think this is beyond me now. :( Maybe someone else knows...

Click the Start button (in Windows), then Run, then type DXDiag - on the sound tab there is an acceleration slider. Try dropping that for WCP, and raising it back up for newer games...

Great to hear that - its how I felt when I read the tips here and got WCP/SO working. I never got the Saga working, but that could be because I use Windows 2000 Pro.
