<![endif] --><p class="MsoNormal">I have a dual boot machine, XP & Vista. If I enable Alchemy for a game in Vista, when I boot into XP and try and run the game I get the following error:
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000042). Click on OK to terminate the application.
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">The only option is to click OK and the game doesn?t run.
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">The system log shows an error 0 from Creative Labs SC..
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">Someone who upgrades to Vista, then goes back to XP may run into this problem and not be able to find out what is happening, or run Alchemy to solve it.
<p class="MsoNormal">?
<p class="MsoNormal">The solution is to remove the dsound.dll from the folder where the games .exe is stored, thus allowing XP to run the correct dsound.dll (which is in windows\system32).

Answer 1

Try to syncronize DC dependencies (in Development Configuration perspective: "Sync Used DCs")... after, rebuild your project.
