Well, I went from my old WinME machine to a new Vista one, and while W&W ran fine on my old computer (or as well as it runs anywhere, anyway... darn alt-tab incompatibility...), on the new one it's got some problems. The game mostly works fine -- I don't need to uncompress the town AVI files or anything to play, and it runs without compatibility mode enabled, though I did turn on Win95 compatibility mode in case that there are bugs within the game itself that that would fix -- but when I click on the 'Intro' button in the main menu, the game crashes to the desktop. I'd imagine that the ending would do the same thing, since those are the game's two Bink files. I guess the version of the binkw32.dll driver included with the game doesn't work with Vista or something? I tried several different versions of that driver I had from several game installs, but the circa 2000-2001 ones all just crash out, and it's not compatible with newer 2006-2007 versions of the driver that I also have. Is there any way to fix this, or do I just have to live with the game crashing in the intro or when I beat it...
One note: RAD Game Tools (newest version), the player from the people who make Bink, plays both videos just fine. It's just when the game tries to play the video internally that it crashes.
