I have just bought and installed CtP2. When I ran it, instead of Intro I see black screen [I can hear the some sound/voices so it apparently works]. Same thing happens when I build a Wonder. I hear some sounds, but can't see anything but black square inside the Movie Wonder window.
Also I don't seem to have any music in the background [but during Wonders, there is some musci]. Is it normal?
Second question is about something else. I have downloaded AContinentAtWar but in the zip file I have some file without extension. What do I do with that file to play? Do I need any mods first? I've tried to find it in FAQ, but I seemed to fail.
Help appreciated. Thanks.

did u turn on the music and it still doesnt play? |
Yes, music is turned on. Like I said, I can hear some musics when I build Wonders for example, so generally it works, but during regular game it's quiet.

Let's see... I applied CTPII Patch v1.11
What's Apolyton Edition?
As for mods, I've only tried to run Cradle mod, but CtP2 crashed when I tried to run it :|

Not drivers/directx fault.
I have 2 PCs at home. Both have same Graphic card, same drivers and same version of DirectX. The only thing that is different is operating system. On Win98 there are no problems at all. I see/hear everything.
On the other PC with Win2k Pro I have the probelm.
There is a lot to read :| what am I supposed to be looking for? Besides the sound should work with original version, shouldn't it?

Well you can have the same driver version but made for each operating system.

Some things to check:
What happens when you play [...]\ctp2_data\default\videos\gm001.avi with Windows Media Player?
Do you have the Indeo video codec?

Gotcha!
That must be it.
"Unknown format (IV50)"
But that's weird. Other movie files [movies] work very well... guess I'll have to work with my codecs... How I hate it :|
Any suggestions?

Problem solved. IV50 installed and it works.
But now I have a question about AContinentAtWar. After I load it, CtP2 crashes :|
Any ideas why?
Game is patched.

Nope, just goes back to windows as if the CtP2 process was killed.
No messages, no warnings, nothing.
