Harold, I think what you are seeing is the wizard is trying to play a MIDI
or sound device file and your driver for that particular type of audio
device is outdated. I was experiencing some of the same errors and
installed latest DirectX and got the latest drivers. Look in your
installation directory and try to play (by double clicking) audio files
that you find there (*.mid *.mpg, .mp3 .mp? etc.). You will probably get
the same error. The newer mpeg and midi formats won't play with the drivers
for older device players.
