ctid98 -> Game Start Issue (8/11/2009 8:32:59 AM)

Upon starting the game I get the first loading screen which completes without issue (the one with the 2 photo's and the red progress bar), however instead of cutting to the intro movie it attempts to drop to desktop but fails with just a black screen with only the task bar on the bottom where I see the WitP-AE still running, but it attempts to open a "document viewer" though what it is trying to open I don't know as the screen is black and nothing works to change this, my system is locked up and only a power on and off can be done.

Any ideas???

Sounds like it is trying to play the intro movie.

Try renaming the directory Video to noVideo so it can't find the movie, and see if that fixes it.

It may be that there is another program attached to files with .AVI extension, or there is a missing DLL for DirectShow.

The intro movie doesn't work very well with some video cards.  Renaming the video folder has no impact on game play and usually fixes the problem.
