I suspect this is a game bug. I see this same behavior in my Windows 7 VM.

The game uses GetVersionEx() to do something relating to audio:

Working in win98 mode gives:

3924.376:002f:Call KERNEL32.GetVersionExA(0033fc78) ret=005179e1
3924.376:002f:Ret  KERNEL32.GetVersionExA() retval=00000001 ret=005179e1
3924.376:002f:Call
KERNEL32.DuplicateHandle(ffffffff,fffffffe,ffffffff,2104abf0,00000000,00000000,00000002)
ret=210021ab
3924.376:002f:Ret  KERNEL32.DuplicateHandle() retval=00000001 ret=210021ab
3924.376:002f:Call KERNEL32.GetProfileStringA(2103e758 "MSS",2103e75c
"MSSDebug",2103e768 "None",2104b6e8,00000100) ret=210021da

The game's media system DLLs all start with "MSS", and it loads dsound soon
after this point in the log.



Non-working in winxp mode gives:

3763.077:0009:Call KERNEL32.GetVersionExA(0033fc78) ret=005179e1
3763.077:0009:Ret  KERNEL32.GetVersionExA() retval=00000001 ret=005179e1
3763.077:0009:Call ntdll.RtlAllocateHeap(01720000,00000000,000007e0)
ret=0051a8ee
3763.077:0009:Ret  ntdll.RtlAllocateHeap() retval=02e3ae70 ret=0051a8ee
3763.077:0009:Call KERNEL32.CreateFileA(00575880
"audio\\wavs\\plaza1_r.wav",80000000,00000003,0033fc2c,00000003,00000080,00000000)
ret=0052211a

There is no mention of "MSS", the WAV files are never used again, and no audio
system is ever initialized.
