Bruce or anyone who has some input go ahead.
I haven't played mcm2 since the MXU tracks were released. It ran fine. Everything worked fine. I tried to fire it up today...all i get is black screen. No Microsoft logo, no nothing. I have it running in win98/me mode on compatibility. My refresh is set to 85. I need help again lol. Sorry for wasting everyones time.
Damn, bad to here that... probably the Indeo codec, try a goodle search for it :)
Indeo Codec or check the latest files you have downloaded... try taking all the latest file u download out of mcm2 folders and see if it works. Then if it does. add all your files 1 by one back into mcm2 so u can see what file is bad
somthing similar happend to me ages ago.. i found out it was one of my RES files.
dont know if u depend on ME, but i always had problems with it with not only mcm2 but other programs as well like photoshop. i would just get rid of it if i were u unless you depend on it. i reallly like windows 2000 pro but i just recently upgraded to xp.
when it happend to me i found out that it was my shortcut that was damaged, worked fine when i loaded the game from the mcm2 folder
when it happend to me it was my profile guy... i deleted it and remade it and it was good
Ah, isn't it nice to know that this game can cause the same problem with so many different solutions. ;)
So many different causes...gottaa be fun finding the solution then!
uninstall indeo codec, then reinstall, did it for me
k well i have indeo codec installed...i run xp pro...the only files ive added are the MXU tracks and MXU res files...I go directly from the exe not a shortcut...I'll try a few things like hooks idea and whoever said the profile thing...if no worky ill just do a repair install, because I haven't added anything since last time it worked. thx for the replies.
