Flashpoint Germany

I've just downloaded and installed this game. All patched up to date before even running the game. The game wont run!
The game menu loads but when hitting "play" all I get is a black screen, usual windows toolbar at the bottom of the screen and my mouse goes into "super slo-mo" mode. Nothing else happens. I have to hit "ctrl+alt+del" to get thing rolling again but no game [:@]
My machine is above spec and all up to date.

Any ideas?[&:]

Sleekit,

What OS are you running? I would also uninstall everything. Load the original game and test it. Then load the 103 update then the 104 update. 103 is a cumulative patch and 104 is a patch of 103. The game should run in 103 and then 104. The game also creates (most of the time) an error log in the mainfolder. It is called FPG_Report.txt. If you can find that and post it it will help track down the problem too. Hang in there. We'll get you running.

There is clearly a problem running the introductory AVI movie files. For now just rename them to something slightly different or move them to a different directory. This will allow the game to bypass them when it starts and the immediate problem will be solved.

Thanks, Rob.
