toysoldier, as you seem to have _audio_ problems both in substation and medusa, it could be worth looking into the audio setup of your system/os. It could be some problem that winamp can get over, but other applications. I think of maybe borked legacy support, then winamp could still use direcsound, but some other app that is not made for directsound but accessing the soundcard in a older/more direct way may fail. ..or the other way round (lecacy but no directsound, but im pretty sure substation doesnt use direct sound since it is quite old).

I think it's maybe bothered by
some other soft or code which i have installed in system,
so when i go home,i format my hdd c:\ and resetup win98,
after finished setup system and vga\sound card,
i first setup medusa0.1.1.6,and vb6,
but,the error is same,
I look carefully the error message,it said something not registed,
so i run medusa install log script:

"regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\NCTAudioEditor.dll",

but display error:register fail

but when i run this script:

"regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\NCTAudioEditor2.dll",
it's succeed registed.

i think maybe my soltek mb contains soud card ac97
isnt be supported by medusa,
whether i should buy another PCI sound card can resolve this probem?

[toysoldier]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,
Maybe the GOD showes a little mercy to me,
After i install a lot of omnifarious (all kinds of) soft,
When I try to run medusa again,
My medusa is open mysteriously and give me a good look,
like the scene after ALIBABA said "gingeli open the door"
in a Arabia story.

I think maybe actually working soft is MEDIAPLAY9 ,
DIRECTX8.0 , VB6 , QUIKTIME6 , WINDVD5 , MPC ............etc.
I dont know which drug can cure my illness,
but eat all drugs what my hands catched. its working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...or just like in SSA, it could be due to the system locale setting.

@SYLF
thanks for your helpness,
i have find the true reasons for NCTAUDIOEDITOR.DLL register failing,
I use DIRECTX9.0's sond and music test,
and some error message display
"MIDI MAPPER" & "MICROSOFT GS WAVETABLE" maybe wrong setup!!!
my sound card is realtek ac'97 in mainboard.

so I disable this MIDI MAPPER,
and try to register NCTAUDIOEDITOR.DLL,it's succeed!!!!
then I install MIDI MAPPER,
now everything is OK.

Thanks for everybody here,
now I can use this excellent soft.
