sounds like the audio files did not recompress for some reason, maybe your security deleted the tools? or if theres a ~unpack~.bat file in your games root folder it means the installer was somehow blocked from executing it, try running it yourself if it is there.

I see No .bat file. I uninstalled it and installed again, and nothing happen. There is no fix file or something?

I've seen this happen before with other games in the past & from memory I'm pretty sure it was the antivirus program causing it. I see you're using Norton which used to be pretty notorious for intervening in cracked game installations. Have you tried shutting down Norton completely ie. every reference to it in task manager AND any Norton services running in the backfround? Also I would probably try installing in Safe Mode with Norton completely shut down. Do you have any other security software running in the background eg, malware protection etc? If so shut all that down too. From those pics I'd almost certainly say it's something at your end.

Also I see in your first post you said you installed it from a CD. That could also be the cause of a few different issues. I would recommend always installing from the original files from a harddrive to minimize potential problems & speed up the overall installation process. Burning games to discs & converting the downloaded files to iso files etc is so unecessary these days & just presents additional steps where problems can occur.
