This most likely a DirectPlay driver issue Albert. Visit your OEM's web
site and download the latest drivers. You might also need to upgrade
your DirectX files as well (www.microsoft.com/directx). The only other
question that comes to mind is to verify that your sound card is capable
of full duplex audio. I know the MS Game Voice only works with such and
I suspect Roger Wilco has similar requirements.
