Re: Need Help, Kinda Urgent

Hey all,

Anyone have a clue on this?
I've tracked down several ways that the error 429 can be generated,
but I haven't found anywhere that shows a solution on how to resolve
it when using the sound objects.
Again, this code works perfect on XP and 98 and others, but when run
on "some" VISTA computers, it works, and on "some other"; VISTA
computers, I am getting the error code 429 when trying to load the
sound objects.
The associated code is:

Set ds = dx.DirectSoundCreate(vbNullString) 'DirectSound
object
Set dsc = dx.DirectSoundCaptureCreate(vbNullString) 'DirectSound
Capture

'Check to see if Sound Card is properly installed
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Unable to start DirectSound. Check proper sound card
installation&quot; & vbCrLf & _
"Error Number occurred when trying to create the
DirectSound capture&quot; & vbCrLf & _
"Error Number = " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & _
"Desription: " & Err.Description & vbCrLf & _
"Source: " & Err.Source
End
End If

On some computers,it shows error number is = 429, and on another it
shows 0x80004005.

Anyone have a clue?
The 429s are occurring on VISTA, yet most VISTAs work perfect.

Help, need to find an answer quick,

Thanks in advance,
John
