I did some more searching and read about that ffx86.dll trick and it worked!!!

Wonder what that file is for, oh well guess it can't be that important since renaming/deleting it seems to have no effect. Actaully, after booting the game once I renamed it back to normal and the game loads fine now.

Thanks for the heads up on the internet connection thing, I experienced that too once I got the game to load.

I missed that line in the readme about the Audigy. That sucks, so far the Audigy is completely backwards compatible with every old EAX game I own, so how the heck is it that they couldn't get it to work in a new game. Well, sound actually worked fine for me in the demo, I guess it just doesn't have the hardware acceleration which means missing out on reverb, echo, etc. Yeah, well as long as the sound just works I can wait for a patch to get the fancy effects.
