Hi Innis, first of all, I just noticed that your replies are including e-mail addresses - if they're not obfuscated in the mailing list archives they'll be harvested for spam. Could you check your e-mailer settings to make sure they're not included in the body of the posting? Re the sound problem - If you get an identical error, referring to exactly the same file, after removing the mkviii folder it implies to me that the mkviii relies upon code that's been built into FG and it's been done in such a way that it means that the FG code consequently requires the mkviii folder to run, even if it's not used. Therefore, you've got to fix your OpenAL, which is what Eric said.
