can you try the game on a fresh xp installation...? maybe of a friend or someone else...?

Also try patching the game to the latest version... patches are available free of cost..

Ashok, Please reinstall the VC++ program. It is a redistributable..

go here

If it's not working after the reinstall of VC++, try updating drivers.

If that fails, sorry... i don't have any answer.

Firstly are you using an original CD or a ripped version in which sounds are removed. Also if
it is Max Payne 1 it is not compatible with WinXP and you need the update patch.
