Cultures one is NOT launching. I am running windows XP SP3, PNY NVIDIA Geforce GT 730 2 GB, 1.86 GHz Intel core 2 duo e5300(older model), When I try to start game, I get error pictured on screenshot. It just wont start at all. First time I actually had problem with gog game. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, redownloaded installer-still nothing.

Did you try deleting winmm.dll. in the cultures 1 folder?
I solved my problem like that.

Yes, that worked. Thank you.

GREAT !!! (Problem solved does run now for me..)


Anyone know what that file's function would have been ?

I think it was supposed to play audio cd music from the hard drive but it spits out this error.
I don't know if it's possible but someone should fix it so i can at least hear music in game.
The solution here isn't perfect since it only plays music once.

Also OP mark as solved please

Well..I preffer my music away from the games...

So just in case, you CAN download the music seperately, and use Mediaplayer.

It's not perfect, but in some cases even better, cuz doing music in dosbox actually consumes more procload
than Mediaplayer..

I'm just happy to play Cultures again, albeit witha tiny bug..

Thanks! That solved the problem for me too.
