[Bug-gnubg] Problems running GnuBG under Vista 32 bit

[Diogo Pais]

I have downloaded and installed the Windows version of Gnu Backgammon (0.90-mingw 20090615) and wish to report the following problems:

- When I start the game I hear the initial sound, but then during gameplay there is no sound at all, except for the bip when I click outside the dice area.

- When I start a new game, very often (more often than not) the dices freeze "in the air"

and there is nothing I can do. I have to click "new" and start a new game over and over again until I have the luck to have a normal game start - then the game plays OK.

I tried to uninstall this version and install an earlier version and the problem is the same. All other software runs absolutely fine, including the latest version of BGBlitz (I much prefer Gnu by the way).

I am running the software in a TOSHIBA QOSMIO F-50 (portable) under Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1 (32 bit). Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9550 2.66 GHz with

4 Gb RAM. The graphic card is a NVidia GeForce 9600 M GT (512Mb dedicated).

The sound is onboard (Realtek audio...). Direct X version is 10.0.

Thanking you in advance for your help
