This is probably old news but i'm hoping someone out there might be able to help
I tried playing this game a while ago on a 6100 chipset mobo with 81.xx nvidia drivers. it worked, although it was a slideshow really
Now i'm trying on 6600gt with 93.71 drivers, dx9c, win xp pro sp2 and when i load the game, once i get to the menu it will quickly freeze, the mouse will move but can't click on anything and a short snippet of sound (the first second or two of the theme that plays) loops on and on. Sometimes i can ctrl-alt-del and terminate the game, but most i have to maually restart. I tried tweaking audio hardware acceleration, no luck.
Does anyone know of this bug? I found another old thread somewhere else that described the same problem but no fix was mentioned.
Weird, i can run doom 3, far cry, fear... but not DX.
edit: i'm trying with the v1.2 retail version
