Friends I wanted to play an older game on my computer, **Asteroids by Activision**. The game loaded OK and seems to play but the music and voice over briefings that always played in the background does not work. The regular game sounds are fine. I know Windows XP plays havoc with older games and I was wondering if this problem could be fixed. I would appreciate any advice on fixes to try, thanks.
