Hi and a happy new year to all.
My computer crashed terminally a week or so ago, so I had to reinstall the whole Glidos for TR1 pack (which used to work fine) ,ie VDMSound, Glidos, the TR and TRUB archive, and AudioPlus. However, I've just spent several hours trying to get it to work, in vain: everytime I launch TR1 via Glidos (and VDOS32), I get the Core Design logo animation (with sound), and then the program shuts down, with the VDOS32 message
"ERROR: Cannot initialise FMV player
Program terminated successfully"
while Glidos simply indicates "GlideShutdown" (see attachment).
I had initially installed v1_40 of Glidos and v0_8 of VDOS32. However, since it was not working, I tried reinstalling the older versions (1_37 and 0_7) which I used without any problems before my computer crashed (btw, by an odd coincidence, it crashed when I tried deleting the Glidos folder), but that didn't work either, neither did all the subsequent fiddling -including trying to install TR in the original TOMBRAID folder in C, installing all the relevant programs on the same disk, using the different archives available, using no sound or CD control or MP3 sound, toggling options on or off.
So apparently it's something to do with the FMV player, but I've never had that problem before, and I've no idea where the player's located or how Glidos is supposed to interact with it, so I don't know how to fix it.
I've searched the VOGONS forum (with "GLIDOS AND FMV AND PLAYER") but the only time this error is mentioned is here and I don't think it's really related.
FYI, I use the Direct3D engine in full screen mode (OpenGL never worked) without textures override. I tried it with both the Premier Collection CD and a later edition in the drive.
I run Windows Vista Home Premium 32bits with a Core 2 Duo 6600 2.4GHz CPU, 2Go RAM, and an ATI X1900XT 512Mo graphics card.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem, I'd be grateful if they'd let me know.
