Game won't start

[parliamentlite]

I changed the AVI folder to AVI_back and my screen is at 16 bit. Hardware acceleration is at none. The game freezes but doesnt crash to desktop when the green status bar on the load screen reaches "initializing graphics". The music skips for a bit but continues playing, yet the screen just stays the same. I have just installed the game and 1.03. I have about 3 gb free on my hard drive.
Here's my info from dxdiag, with some ommissions due to length:

Thanks,

I tried to start the game again and it worked, but this time with no music. Is it possible for me to get both to work? I'm not really sure how I turned the music off either. How do I turn it back on?
Thanks
Dave

Sounds like the problem is with your sound card, however you did not provide that info.

The part of Dxdiag that I need is everything from the start to the heading that says “DirectX components” .

hope this helps
Dave

 

[Castellon]

Did you run the Victoria Config\setup program from the start menu.
There you can set the resolution and turn th emusic on or off.
You may also want to check the volume setting for music in game as well.

 

[parliamentlite]

Its fixed.
Thank you very much.

 

[Castellon]

Great!
