Wrong.
Change your sound provider to DirectSound HW.
This fixed it for a lot of people. |

Change the sound provider in Gothicīs sound options menu. Then restart Gothic to reinitialize the sound hardware. |

Damn. We have two different mss32 problems. 
Try the things I mentioned in the other similar thread:
open the gothic.ini with an editor, go to the [Sound] section and disable music, sound and extended providers.
Then try to start Gothic.
Lets assume this wonīt help. Do I understand you correctly, you want to reinstall a clean windows? Or do you want to try to uninstall Gothic, fix some things and reinstall it?

This means that all the drivers are okay.
I would simply rename the Gothic directory and then try to install it again. If it works delete the first copy. |

Well... It won't uninstall and everytime I try to reinstall it in gives me a chooice to modify, repair, or uninstall. None of them do anything. So I can get to the regular install screen to change the directory. |
