first of all i'm no newb in installing and making games like ff8 to work but in this case i'm desperate. i used to google for couple of days for a solution but with no result. so here it is:
i did play ff8 about a month ago. it worked flawless! after that i uninstalled the game and installed ff7. worked with no problem, too. later, ff7 was uninstalled and i wanted to play ff8 one more time and there it was...no ingame music?! i don't understand it. i did all steps like the 1st time to install it. the sounds in game are there but with no music. i mean for example watching the dance scene with rinoa and squall with no music is a sad experience...
i believe it has something to do with my directmusic midi. in dxdiag (directx diagnostic tool) when i test directmusic it says: "DirectMusic test results: Failure at step 2 (Creating the IDirectMusicLoader object): HRESULT = 0x80040154 (Class not registered)". i tried already to reinstall my sound card...re-roll directx from 9.0c to 8.1 from windows xp cd...and some other steps but with no success.
i don't know what to do...ff8 is like for me the best game ever so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciate!!
p.s. sry for my bad english.
