Yes, I already know the workaround - use the maximum install.

Nevertheless - FLC movie playback is busted if you use the minimum install.

I'm running off a copy of the CD and the unit movies / floating brain in the save/load menu aren't working; they're stuck at the initial frame. The movie starts to play when I first access the save/load menu, but after what looks like 1 frame, it stops and never starts again.

I can't tell if this is a problem with the game itself, or the game running under DOSBox, as windows crashes (video init error) if I try to run the executable at the command prompt.

Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

Hmm, it might work better if you make a bin/cue image copy of your CD-Rom and mount that image with imgmount in Dosbox. I found performance lacking in other games that load videos off the CD during play.
