Did you check the CODEC's? This was one of the original little problems discovered when the game was released. Some people have third party codec's installed in their machines that the game simply does not like and for the most part these codec aren't being used by anything particulary worthwhile

Look for this thread and message #

Codec files arrested charged with screwing up game

Haven't "checked" the codecs yet, as the only way to do so, to my knowledge, would be to delete them. I'm sure I could, since the caution of that approach would match that of their introduction to the comp... The thread you are reffering to mentions this cheerful strategy. Nah, I think I'll just sit back, relax and let the other guy find his culprit(s) first. Who knows? Sooner or later you might have a whole list of bad codecs. At least one of them is bound to be found on my comp. Thanks for listening, though!
