First, hi to all. new kid in the block.
Second, I have been trying to find an answer to my trouble in the forum without much luck before posting.
What's ****ing me off is that I used to be able to play TRAOD (up to a certain point at least) and now it doesn't even start.
The trouble is that after the introductory clip the menu page is supposed to load. I get only sound and the backgroud image (round blueish drawing) but nothing else. It seems to respond to controls as I can hear the clicking sounds but no response of the game.
System:
AMD Athlon at 2.0 MHz (real clock speed)
RAM 512 Kb
VGA GForce 4 MX 440 64 Mb
Sound device integrated in ASUS MB A7V8X-X
The steps of the failure:
1. I installed the game for the first time. It worked. After level rooftops the animation got a little funny graphics-wise and as soon as the clip at the old woman's apartment starts I hear the sound but the image freezes at the first frame (intercom). Then there's no way to get the game running again. This was absolutely consistent as it happened every time. But it never happened wih the introductory movie.
2. I loaded the TRAOD patch. Then the game started once but never again. Would not work at all. Stops befor the "Press any key" screen.
3. I updated the VGA drivers. No use.
4. I re-installed the game (no patch, maybe that was it). No use.
Note: It used to crash when I accessed the menu from the game but I didn't have time to figure out a consistent pattern as it happened just now and then.
ANY IDEAS ????????
Thx
