If you had to change to not show the introduction this tells me you HAD been running the introduction sucessfully. Is that correct ?

Try running that again but in windowed mode and let me know what happens

Don

1. Win7 Enterprise. Version 6.1. Build 7600.

2. Nope - never tried the NCrawler fix. Have the CD version so I have ran the game in "full screen" windowed mode as a workaround.

3. Yes, in windowed mode everything works nicely.

4. With the fix installed, everything works in windowed mode.

Don't have any fix installed here. I got around all the early problems by buying the CD versions of both games and playing big screen windowed mode

Edit: I know which post you are referring to. I used that for a while on my _stationary_ computer until I bought the CD version, but not on this laptop.

As I write this there have been three DL of that beta fix and one report back on how it worked. I REALLY need EVERYBODY who tries this to post a report on how it worked on their machine and I need to know what OS you are using and what version of it you are using

Thank You

Don

I don't want to assume anything so I need to ask this..... are you saying when you run the game in windowed mode the intro works OK for you using Win7 Enterprise. Version 6.1. Build 7600 ?

As you are running the CD version are you currently running the widecreen support beta on your computer ?

Nope - didn't know it existed. Running the game on my laptop so not much of a widescreen there.

First off , until you said you could we were under the impression that NOBODY running Vista or Win7 could get the intro to run under any circumstances so this is "big news" to us

Second, go to the sticky section at the top of the forum and click on the thread: Wide screen BETA test - for CD owners only thread and DL the Beta EXE, follow the instructions and you will have widescreen support for your laptop. This will be included in the next patch for both games but we posted this here back in July for players to try

Thanks for the link - I'll try it.

Tried to install on my stationary computer at home running Vista, and had all sorts of problems, and no intro. After a couple of fixes from this forum I got it to run (no intro). But on my laptop using Win7 it works fine as installed (as long I stick to windowed mode). In fact, running the in full screen mode leads to exactly the same error message as I got with the patch which probably is good for you to know. Maybe the graphic card isn't as advanced on the laptop (ATI Mobility Radeon 3400 series).

Don, i just tried, the 5.00DL version of the MBT, and intro WORKS, i never had it on because i read in the forums that it wouldn't work in 7/vista, now i just tried and it worked, running:
Win 7 Home basic 32bit (6.1 build 7600)
DirectX 11(using directX in windowed mode)
3GB ram
Graphics: mobile intel(r) 45 express chipset family
Screen resolution 1280x800 at 60hz
Game :800x600(free dl version)

NCrawler's fix works
will try your fix and report results tomorrow morning.

On my stationary computer (Vista system) it was like that for the Ncrawler thing - first a crash and then it worked..

On my laptop system (Win7) it worked from the beginning "as is", without any problems with the CD version in windowed mode (including the introduction - start-up screen showing for a while, then loading the game).
