Then, we're sorry to say, you cannot play Shrek's ReVoice Studio on that computer.

Click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box type dxdiag. You should see the DirectX Version number. You need Version 7 or 8 to run ReVoice Studio.

To get DirectX 8, go to http://www.microsoft.com/directx/homeuser/downloads/default.asp

If this happens and you get a message that reads '...Failed to find audio stream in: Data\V06.avd' or similar, you will need to enable or load some audio playback software.

If you have a Hercules Prophet 4500 video card, or similar:

Right click your desktop and select 'properties'.
From the screen that appears, click 'settings' then 'advanced'.
The Hercules driver offers a box for 'performance', which when clicked on, brings up a slider bar for (video) hardware acceleration.
Reduce this to the second setting and restart the computer.
Shrek's ReVoice Studio should work fine.

If you have an ATI Radeon card:

Go to http://support.ati.com/ and download and install the latest video driver for your ATI Radeon card and operating system. Let us know if this helps.

Others:

If you have another video card, make sure you have the latest drivers for your card (please check this with the video card manufacturer).
It is also worth checking whether your video card has a hardware acceleration performance slider in it's control panel similar to that described for the Hercules Prophet, above.
If so, try reducing this to see if the video corruption in Shrek's ReVoice Studio disappears.
Please let us know how you get on.

Some DirectX Codecs installed on your system can affect ReVoice Studio. If you have installed any codecs on your system and are having problems running ReVoice Studio, see the documentation supplied with the codecs for instructions on how to disable them.

Your voice recordings are stored in the folder called "ReVoice" in your "My Documents" folder. If you make a copy of this folder, you will be able to copy it back into your "My Documents" folder to restore any recordings that you made before you made the copy.

You may need to set your DVD drive to DMA mode. DMA mode allows the video to play without using the processor in your computer. See the Windows Help guide, accessed through the Windows Start Menu, and your DVD drive documentation.
