Video Game Reviews of NHRA Drag Racing: Quarter Mile Showdown
Customer Review: Good Game, Got SOUND WORKING IN VISTA!!!!!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
While I've been into Drag Racing for many years, Drag Racing Video Games have been lacking; to say the least. I found this game in the Bargain Bin for less than ten buck, so what the heck. I've been running Vista since Beta. Boy has it come a LONG way. After figuring out how to install it on Vista, I as like everyone else, disappointed with the no SOUND problem and ValueSofts nonexistent post release support.
I figured out how to get sound to work in games like this... First, you MUST have either a Creative Labs X-Fi or Audigy 2 sound card. The X-Fi Xtreme Gamer is the best out there. You can also use other brand cards that use the X-Fi but the key to getting sound is Creative's ALchemy program. after opening ALchemy, it WILL NOT list this game. you must Click ADD. The next window (Game Settings)you will first time the Name of the game. Type this however you want. Next, clock the radio buttion nect to use Game Path. mine is C:\Program Files\ValuSoft\NHRA Quarter Mile Showdown. Click OK. Then you will see the newly added game. Click the arrows pointing to the right column to add to that column (ALchemy-enabled Games. Close Alchemy. Now, if you try to run the game it will crash. You MUST run this game as Administrator. This can be done by either right clicking the game each time you open it and choose run as administrator, or browse to C:\Program Files\ValuSoft\NHRA Quarter Mile Showdown\ and right click the games exe file and choose properties. Click the box Run as Administrator! You are DONE and have a game with SOUND. try this with ANY game you are having sound problems with.
