Try why Hz suggested with ddfix, are the intro videos playing when you
startup the game? I was having problems where the video codec for the game
(an old version of Indeo) wouldn't work correctly. Instead of playing the
intro video when you start the game it simply goes to the main menu, then
when you start the game you usually get a blank screen.
Was a pain in the ass to fix, I forget what I had to do. I think you just
had to register the codec file that's isntalled normally. What Hz described
will probably work. Good luck. Great game.
