Obvioulsy that is not the case or you would see a whole lot of threads in here witht he same problem as you.
In fact you are the only one complaining about this particular problem.

Having said that , I am sorry you are having troubles running the game.
I assume you took jpd's advice and followed the link he provided.
Let's also try some standard things.
1) Make sure you have the latest patch for the game.
2) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
3) Set the color depth to 16BIT
4) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
5) Run a Virus check and a Adware/Spybot checker
6) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-4.
