Author Topic:   Project movies

The first few times I played the game, all was well, now recently the Secret Project videos do the damned things to my computer. The movies will play for a few seconds, then hang, then start up again. All the while my CD-ROM is whirling like it's about to explode. What bugs me is that the game used to work fine, but now it doesn't. Could there be patch problem?

I have also Problems with the Videos! All went fine with my German-SMAC until I installed the German 3.0 Patch err i mean Enhancement. Well the Videos crash each time with a blue screen VXD-Something Error so i had to turn them off. I can still play the videos under Windows but in SMAC they crash so i guess its the Patch. Hope the 4.0 Crash will fix this or does anyone have some suggestions?

The VxD error's have been happening to me, too. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was beginning to wonder if my CD was corrupt.
How do you turn off the movies? I just got the game, but I don't like playing it if I have to reboot my computer every twenty minutes, and I really want to continue playing my game!

Never mind...I've figured out how to disable the "Secret Progjet Movies", but is there a way to disable all the movies (like the torture chamber when you capture another leader)?
