Or, if you do have the CD version, perhaps you forgot to copy the monster.sou file?

That could mean your CD is scratched or something like that... Maybe buying a new one? :?

try cleaning the cd and try it on a different cd-rom.

if it still doesn't work you'll have to buy a new copy.

okay i'll try that but would a dirty cd really cause an I/O error just for all the voices?

probably it's scratched.

such an error means that the device can not read the data of the cd properly and if there is a scratch at that specific place it may well disrupt the reading process.

nice to hear that you made it work.
