Navigate to your PES 6 installation directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\KONAMI\Pro Evolution Soccer 6 ). Open the folder and ensure it contains the following: 0_text.afs (Main game graphics) 0_sound.afs (In-game sounds) e_text.afs or s_text.afs (Menu text/language) e_sound.afs or s_sound.afs (Commentary)
