yeah i get it. Tried running The Forge from the original install location, and the sound still isn't working. Strayy's tavern still works great, even when run from a location besides the original install.
Seems how i still can't figure out the problem with The Forge, i'm just going to delete everything and start with a fresh install, if i can find my CD that is. I probably won't have much time to look for it, till this weekend.
