Yeah, exactly. It starts to load, i get a black screen, and then i suddenly I see my desktop and it seems that nothin' happen. And afterwards I have to restart the PC because all aplications i run crashes.

Add this line to the bottom of the Hitman2.ini file

EaxDisable

That should fix it.

Its a soundcard problem. Basically its a kind of Bug with the Soundblaster 128 (soundcard) range . On 1 of my machines I have to use that line in the INI (It has a SB128 in it). On my other machine I dont have too (That has a SB Audigy in it). Maybe your sons ME machine does not have a SB 128 card in it??

I have a soundblaster 16 in my PC and I had to add the line. I think its a general problem with the soundblaster cards...

JoyBoy · #10 16-10-2002, 06:03

Ahhh K. I stand corrected

Maybe it only affects older Soundblaster Cards??

=[el_BASTARDo]= · #11 16-10-2002, 06:16

I know it's an old one, but I haven't got the money to buy me a better/newer soundcard. Last month my harddisk got broken and before that my cd-recorder so i had to buy a new recorder and now I have to safe money to buy a new harddisk. So you see these things are more important to renew than the soundcard. I didn't want to correct you, i am not a "better-knower" or in german "Klugscheißer"! I just want to add this information for others.

Ones again: Thanks @ BountyWarrior!!!

You have to take the fairlight-crack, and after overwriting the existing hitman2.exe you have to patch the hitman2.exe with Bughunters patch...

both you get at www.gamecopyworld.com

R.E: EAX Disable ini line.

I had this problem too, but before I decided to go online for help, I actually read the readme file from the game directory, which told me the same answer!!! It saved me hours of trawling the internet for the answer......so, perhaps there's a lesson there!
