A few weeks ago, I set up an machine to play Akte Europa (see here). Even before I optimised that machine with help from here, the game's menus always looked fine, and it would always play its FMVs. Now, the menus look like this:
FMVs won't play properly any more. I get a black screen with some audio, which cuts out after a few seconds. I assumed that I had changed something about the machine, and set up a brand new one. It faces the exact same issues. I'm desperate. What could cause this? I got so far running this game properly, and now everything is broken. I'm angry at myself for not realising that copying a machine wouldn't copy the hard disk, so whatever messed up affects all machines.
My machine can't play FMVs any more, and menus are glitchy
Re: My machine can't play FMVs any more, and menus are glitchy
I created a Windows 98 machine to see whether this was in any way a Windows 95 issue. It has the same issue, so this is probably a host OS issue. Any ideas what could cause this?
