Hi, I recently installed Starship Titanic on XP. It works to some
degree. Things that are moving, like the elevator man's head and the
monkey movers are blanked out.

When I installed it, I included Indeo video, and most other options I
saw, but I did not let it install DirectX since mine was newer.

Any ideas?

Yes.

I bet you have XP Service Pack 2 installed.

If so, uninstall it and your beautiful ST video will appear.

(Obviously this is risky since it is an integral part of your OS, but all I
can say is it worked fine for me).

Thanks. I may try that. I haven't decided yet.
