F.E.A.R probs; HELP!

So... the single player didn't work... but it worked on my friends, and his PC is crappy compared to mine, and I tried the MP demo on the latest NAG and I get the same prob!

Sound doesn't work, and I'm using a Soundblaster live 24bit!

My other specs are:

Mobo - Gigabyte 8S661FXM-FZ
Processor - Intel P4 2.8ht presscott
Memory 512mb ddr400
Gfx - sapphire radeon 9550 latest drivers
Windows XP sp2.

Thats all I think the prob can concern...

It doesn't run, when I disable sound then it does, but I encounter invisible walls impossible to bypass!

Anyone with suggest, please tell

I know Brazed had the same issue and I think he fixed it somehow - use messenger to contact him: sir_brazed@hotmail.com

Download the latest SB live drivers on the Soundblaster homepage (www.soundblaster.com) When in the game, Disable Directsound, and any sound hardware acceleration options, and put the overall sound quality on medium-low. exit F.E.A.R, reboot machine, and try and into the game again, and see what happens.

I already ot all that stuff... the game doesn't even start with sound enabled, just a blank screen, I have to endtask, got to config, disable sound there, and then I can run the game, and then all the sound options are greyed out in the sound menu so I can't manipulate them!

YEs, It runs in the Processes. Its a thing that The SBlive drivers load into memory. And yes, you will have to do that every time. Log onto soundblaster.com, and drop them an email on how to permanently delete cthelper!
