xp or me?

I just got Grim Fandango (i know, i know) and am running Xp home version.

 

I can watch the first movie, but after I pick up the paper in the tube everything stops. Is it a problem with XP or something I just haven't figured out yet?

 

Any suggestions without too many spoilers would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Okay, I know the problem. I have just recently updated my windows from Windows ME to Windows XP. Before I had ME, Grim Fandango ran beautifully with the patch. Unfortunately, the problem you're experiencing is an XP problem. Not to worry! Simply download the patch from http://www.lucasarts.com ... after that, check the update and/or original game readme and learn how to copy the sound and music files directly to your hard drive. The problem will show up again every once and a while, but save frequently and it won't be so much of a hassle. It's worth it to play the game.

 

If you can't figure out how to copy the music/data/video files to your harddrive after the patch is installed, post back here and I'll give you an in-depth description.
