Where do you get this 'dxdiag'? My game works fine (with some fiddling around) but the movies won't work under ANY condition! This includes screwing with the .ini file, the comp colour settings, etc. SOS!

It's typically in c:\program files\directx\setup.

You run DXdiag.exe, check for notes about your dx and/or win95 drivers, perhaps update to dx 6.1 (www.microsoft.com/directx) and in general get all your driver ducks in a row.
