Hi: My Silent Hunter I work quite good via D-Fend Reloaded. Only problem , I have sound only at the intro screens, or with the submarine sinking screen. To have the sound I have try to installed the VDM 2.0.4 following the procedure by Don V.Wells
http://www.subsowespac.org/sh_xp/silent_hunterxp.shtml
All ok to this point, then the come this famous "Fix" and the problems:
Create and install a registry fix for VDMSound v2.0.4 update1
"Use NOTEPAD to create the file "HKCU_Software_Freeware_VDMSound_Fix.reg" in the sub-directory "C:\UTILS". This file may be created by a cut-and-paste of the six text lines delimited below:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freeware\VDMSound]
"NextTip"=dword:00000000
"TipsFile"="C:\\Program Files\\VDMSound\\VDMSound.tips"
"ShowTips"=dword:00000000
Save the file "HKCU_Software_Freeware_VDMSound_Fix.reg".
Merge the Registry fix by 'double-clicking' the "HKCU_Software_Freeware_VDMSound_Fix" in the Windows XP Explorer.
Here I am loss and dont unterstand what that mean the author.
I have undestand , to create a new text pad document called " HKCU_Software_Freeware_VDMSound_Fix.reg" and inside must be:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freeware\VDMSound]
"NextTip"=dword:00000000
"TipsFile"="C:\\Program Files\\VDMSound\\VDMSound.tips"
"ShowTips"=dword:00000000
OK, fine but, what that mean "Merge the Registry fix by 'double-clicking' the "HKCU_Software_Freeware_VDMSound_Fix" in the Windows XP Explorer"? Merge with what or where?, double click , that open the doc but nothing more. Must go to Windows XP(SP3)folder and insert or added this text somewhere inside of other document?
Thanks for the help
