Reinstalled, now, no intro videos
I reinstalled RTw and BI after a system upgrade, including a new video card.
Evrything seems to work fine BUT
1. My intro videos dont play. They are not crucial but I like watching them sometimes as a "mood enhancer"
My old video card was a NVidia Geforce 6800 - 256 MB
new video card
ATI x1650 Pro - 512 MB
Im suspecting its a video codec, but not sure how to check that. The Intro movies are there, they play in Windows Media Player.
Puzzled...any ideas???

Re: Reinstalled, now, no intro videos
Not a codec problem if it plays on Media player I think.
What about the video card drivers? You switched from nVidia to ATi, so you'll need to clean all older drivers completely.. But I quess you've done that.
Shouldn't be in the options either, since it's just reinstalled. Does it just skip the videos or does it try to play them?

Well, of course you'll need to install new, working Ati drivers. Or could try some different versions if it still doesn't work. The new version here. I think it also requires the media format 9 or something like that, but there should be an installer in the game CD.
Also, if nothing else works, you could try another clean reinstall..

Everything is working now.
