Win Xp - Videos

[The4thDuke]

Ok folks here I am...finally. As you can guess from thread's title I am having some issue with GF Videos. I will give some info in order to find a way to resolve the hardest enigma I've found in GF, lol:

 

 

- First off let me say I am Italian and so my GF edition is

- I have tried to install the famous XP patch, I can't install it (because I've got Italian version i guess)

- I have found an Italian Patch released by Clickteam (http://www.clickteam.com), it's currently installed.

- I have tried the new "Launcher", the Launcher works, the game doesnt. This is the error I get: Res.c(2075): (int)fh > 0 && (int)fh <= MAX_OPEN_FILES

- Actually I use an AMD Athlon 2600+ XP with an ATI RADEON 8500

 

This is the problem: When I run the game it works, but there's something wrong with each video. The videos are played very slowly making a echo effect, good only for getting a headache. (If you dont know what I am talking about I could try to record it with Fraps if it works).

 

I have read this problem somewhere else - and I apologize if I am asking help for a FAQ - but I've tried the patch and it didnt fix the problem. I also tried to copy and paste all GF videos into GF folder, they works (while there's no GF CD), but they are still played slowly with an odd echo.

 

I have no idea what's the problem, I think I could run GF quite well on XP before I formatted my HDD's (I can't remember, I've used both 98SE and XP at the same time). Also I was wondering if I should download such a video codec to play them, I've tried to google something but it didnt help me much.

 

Any help will be much appreciated. Any idea?

I think I've said it before, but I'll ask again..........are you using the game in compatibility mode??

and what exactly do you mean by GF videos? the games cutscenes or the actual game play?
