Locking up

[J.Lane Harris]

I've had STUG for some time. I've downloaded and installed all the patches and it has worked great. Until now. It has suddenly decided to lock up after the opening animations. I also used to be able to skip the battle scene by simply pressing the space bar. It plays through now ignoring my attemps to stop it and gets to the setup screen and locks up. I am current on the patches (1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 2.1) have reinstalled and rebooted them all and downloaded the most recent version of ActiveX (9.0). There has been no change. The only thing I can think of was a recent addition of a fax/modem program. Could this be the reason it freaked out?

try deleting the animations from the movies folder and see if that gets it working
