Hi,

"sndstorm.exe has encountered a problemand and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

This is the message I get every time I try to access my
soundcard's properties through Windows Control Panel.

Anyone know what I can do to fix it? Any help wld be much
appreciated.

Thanks

Leon
 
I could not find the " Windows Update:
"NVIDIA Corporation multimedia software update released on September 08
2003" in my "add and remove program" from control panel.
 
If you're using Windows XP, you can also try the "system restore"
feature. I had this problem recently after attempting an update to my
video card. I rolled back the system by 1 day and all was happy again.

Regards

You are not alone. I am going through the same problem...I have an NVIDIA
video card...no matter what driver I install for the video card it causes
this same problem...be it the driver from Windows Update or the NVIDIA site.
So far the solution that I am trying is this...go ahead and screw up
SndStorm by installing the Unified drivers, then do a System Restore to when
SndStorm worked. Next from Control Panel/display adapter/properties do a
driver upgrade search. I think this will find the new video drivers and
install them without bothering SndStorm. I did this and it seems to have
worked...but I am still testing it.-James
