Hi,
I was around the old forum a while back, struggling to get TR to work with Glidos on XP. I managed to get everything to work, then some problem required me to reinstall some element (can't remember which one - helpful I know) and I was back to problems after problems. At that point I gave up.
Leapt back into the water with the notice about the XP TR Launcher at http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com - I've downloaded the latest version of Glidos (1.24 right?) of VDMSound (1.0.0.7 right?) and the launcher (picking the with Glidos option). I got an error when running the launcher install about an error with install.exe. I think this might be because my DVD drive is E: but I have a ZIP drive labelled D: (just a guess).
Anyway - I get the following (and this now begins to feel awfully familiar): -
I don't get the Eidos / Core intro, or the following FMV, just black screens - however I can escape past these and get the game menu, start a new game and (though the FMV once again doesn’t run) the actual game graphics are accelerated fine. All is well with the ambient music as well, but I get no other sounds (guns drawing or firing or darts making whatever noise darts do). I know that this is a typical problem (and yes I did have it before), but I'm afraid I'm not technically savvy enough to figure out the solution (I've manually loaded VDMSound - no difference).
Also - somewhere in the process I've got back to the spinning Glidos text - I did pay for the kosher version (just after that brief time when it was all working (pre-whatever I had to reinstall - see above), but I don't think I have any record of the key.
HELP!!!!
