Thanks for the quick responses, EtherealN and Acedy,:thumbup:
I don't have any codec packs installed. Also black shark did not create a crash log. I did run it with process explorer in the background and noticed that the Werfault.exe came up after..
...Direct sound Administrator shared thread array (lock) ...
...Direct input...
...Direct input ...
This leads me to believe that it may still be a sound card problem or one of my input devices.... keyboard, joystickm,mouse etc. I heave read in a thread that certain key boards may have an issue. I am using a Logitech wireless key board and a microsoft wireless mouse, I will experiment and get back.
Thanks again.
