It Works!!!
Hella everybody!
I just wanted to share my experience with you about this thread.
< I see some time has passed since the last post
>
I read all these topics to fix my game under WinXP, but none of them were
helpful, unfortunately!
But, guess what! I realized how to resolve the problem!!!
I had some graphical problems, when the first intro <paradox.avi> launched there were no picture, only sound, and after that, the big nothing! When I deleted the avi directory, the game crashed to desktop.
I tried everything: 16bit colors, thumbnail properties, avi folder deletion, directX troubleshooting. But were unsuccessful. So I had to do made up my mind.
The solution is simple:
1.> delete the "avi" files from the "avi" folder
2.> replace them with 0 length files with the same name
you can do that by right clicking on desktop -> new -> text -> and name
the file to "paradox.avi"
3.> do the same with the other three files <good, bad, euintro>
4.> copy the 4 newly created files to "avi" folder, where the original ones were
5.> YATTA!!! The game is running; you don't have to change anything else!
If someday somebody will read this post and will try it, could I ask him/her to give me a feedback if it worked or not.
I hope I helped you, enjoy the game!!! ...and please forgive me my english, it is not my mother tongue.
