Status: offline 		Reloading the saved game seems to have corrected the problem. Any ideas about the cause? The Galatopedia is working just fine, as are the pop up boxes.

The only other thing I have noticed is that the videos do not always play at startup - I get a blank screen. Clicking to continue goes to the menu without problems.

Status: offline 		Not sure on the cause yet. Regarding the video, do you have the latest Windows Media Player 11 installed?

Status: offline 		Hi Erik, I'm also experiencing a lack of messages in the message box when I load a game.

I reload the game again, and then the messages are fine.

This only started happening yesterday strangely.

I`ve reported the last one but didn`t get any feedback on it. Both problems are gone when you reload the game (sometimes only after restarting the game).
