That is strange because no such file exists in my install.

Okay let's try some standard things.
1) Rename the AVI folder to AVI_back
2) Set the color depth to 16BIT
3) Turn off everything in the background like E-mail/ICQ/Messenger, Virus protection and everything in the system tray beside the clock.
4) Update your Windows, update your Video card drivers and audio card drivers. Then repeat steps 1-3.


Please run a DirectX Diagnostic:
Start menu –Run - then type Dxdiag, then select each tab across the top of the window, and run the tests on each tab. Then select “Save All Information” button in the lower right of the window. This will bring up a dialog box to allow you to select a name for the file where the information will be saved. You can save it right on the desktop as this will make it easy to find. Then copy the contents of that file from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” then paste what you have copied into a post in this thread.
 
Look where you installed the game, usually something like C:/program Files/Paradox/Crusader Kings/

In that folder there will be a folder called AVI.
 
Well my advice above holds for random CTDs as well . ;)
 
You did not give all the section I asked for.

Also did you install the latest beta patch as well?
So install, then 1.04a, then feb05 beta?
 
Well it looks like you are still running 32 bit.

If you have 1.04a installed you just need to extract the beta patch into the folder you installed CK to.

You can find the patch as an attachment in the sticky thread in the public beta subforum.
 
Did it ask you to overwrite files?
If it did and you aswered yes, then you are okay.
 
Glad it worked out for you.
And the date of the beta is shown in the top right corner of the main menu screen.
