The game is installed under the XP HDD.
After initial install of HOI2DD v1.00 the intro movies play the video goes black on the main menu screen. The sound track changes correctly. I upgraded to the v1.3a HOI2DD and have the same problem. I tried changing the desktop colors to 16 bit and running it in windowed mode by creating a shortcut and enabling windowed mode there. It is also black.
Although I do all my gaming in the XP HDD, I then tried installing it on the Vista HDD and the game will work under compatibility mode for XP Service Pack 2. Unfortunately I can not keep the game on my Vista HDD as it is a development environment. So I believe the issue is with XP Service Pack 3. Any ideas of how to fix this without rolling back to XP Pro Service Pack 2.
