Alright... so the avi files are expanded and it's dying to the desktop. What is the specific error message? or do you not get enough time to see it? If you are quick enough, you can do an ALT-Print Screen and then paste the print screen into a word document...don't know if this works with wordpad or notepad ... so you can actually see the whole message.
Your system is obviously XP (home or professional?)
your vid card is? and Radeon? (model/MB/etc...)
RAM?
(basic info here, please)
harddrive?
CD-Rom?
Direct X version?
hmmm...what else do we need to consider here? Oh, have you set the compatibility modes to W95 ... W98...etc?
What resolution are you playing at?
Do you have software or hardware video enabled?
Did you patch the game?
Have you tried a second install over the first?
hmmm... Willow, do you have any other ideas on what might be useful to know about the system/problem.
I'm remembering my first installation of W&W. It was on ME (piece of *&*%$ OS). I was not able to actually run the program. I did not get error msgs at all...just black screen with the W&W pointer that would move for about 1 sec. Then the crash. Could not alt-tab out or even taskmanager "switch to". When I installed on newly installed XP (same machine, just changed OS) I was able to run the program... this last is just brainstorming and trying to remember the things I tried under ME... vdub fixed my town issue and the patch covered the rest?
