I tried looking under Support but no-one else seems to have gotten the error. I tried updating my drivers and am running DX 9.0c, or whatever, when it requires only DX 8. What happens when I start the game is the 2 intro videos play, as normally should be, and then once I try to skip the second one, or just let the second one fully play, I hear the sound of the menu but the screen is frozen in place either black or the frame when I tried to stop the intro cinematic from playing. I haven't tried letting it sit there, so I might do that.

Can anyone please help me? A good game such as this should be able to run on my computer..

Also, I'm not a redneck. I find this game pretty fun. :)

EDIT: Also, it never asked me to restart after I installed the game. I know it shouldn't ever need to restart, but maybe that could be the problem?

Did you try running in win 2000 mode?

EDIT:
Nvm, figured it out.. Re-installing now. :saddowns:

[Teh Ganon]

Not necessarily the install, but games like cnc red alert i have to edit the .exe's compatibility mode in its properties. but then again your game was meant to run on xp right? so it should work. That is unless you have vista, then theres your problem lol.

edi: oh crap nvm, i didn't read correctly. seems you can get the game to run but its fuxored up. It may have something to do with the color mode your running in, screen resolution etc...

if thats not it idk... srry

[Bastinka]

Nope, I've been on XP always and never would even think about switching to Vista.

Hah!
It works :awesome:

I just removed the Intro.avi's from the movies folder. :)
