    I have the same error. Do you mean that directplay voice must not be used. Splinter cell use that option and we can't use ventrilo. What to do to correct the problem

    From our documentation:

  • DirectPlay is deprecated, and Microsoft strongly recommends against using it to develop new applications. Game developers should use Windows Sockets (see Windows Sockets) and the Windows Firewall APIs (see Windows Sockets) and the Windows Firewall APIs (see Games and Firewalls).
  • Please do not use DirectPlay.

    I have the same problem here. On 2 different computers. One with nVidia drivers the other with realtek '97 audio drivers.

    This forum is for DEVELOPERS using DirectPlay not people playing games that use DirectPlay.

    Please contact the publisher of the game or your local Microsoft support center for help with games. Or try the microsoft.public.windowsxp.games newsgroup
