Has anyone gotten this game to work under XP?
I can install and run the game fine, but the movies will not play. For example, in the main menu there is an option to play the intro movie. Pressing this button yields no error message, no movie, no nothing, the game just goes on as if you didn't click the button. The movies are in .mve format but they play fine in Windows Media Player. I believe they are MPEG 2 movies. I don't know whether or not this error occurs in the CD version of the game. It may be an XP error, something related to old DVD video playback APIs, or something else. However, the game does use DirectX, so it seems odd that it wouldn't also use DirectX for the movie playback.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
