For some reason I can't play music files on my PC. After reformatting my PC,
I re-installed the latest versions of Napster and Real Jukebox but I get
error messages:

Real Jukebox: "Cannot open the audio device. Another application may be
using it" yet there are no other applications open.

Napster: "Can't open playback device. It might already be used."

Looking at the device manager for the sound card (Creative Awe 64 Wavetable
MIDI (Awe 32 Compatible), it says: "Device Failure: Try changing the driver
for this device. If that doesn't work, see your hardware documentation.
(Code 2.)"

I don't know what to do. Anyone's help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sylvia Oliver.
