Got the same problem as J4P4NM4N, except some minor details, in the terminal print: Code: err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} could be created for context 0x1 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x9f0000 0 0x33fc6c 4 fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on SAA7134, disabling mixer fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x338d50,0x00000000), stub! But in my case it's not only when i launch EVE, but also C&C3. :S And I didn't have the problem before. But last time, I tried, was in the start of this year(2009), so it could be many thing. :S But any way, hope my info can help to find a solution...
