Fix all the retarded capitals in your post, then somebody might consider this a real request for help.

Try to run in "Windows 95 Compatible mode".
Right click on EXE file, press properties, select from combobox "Windows 95".

[hint]use 'edit post' instead of double-posting[/hint]
And maybe the game is too old to be played at such a new machine...

1. Check RESOURCE.CFG file for current pathes to game resources.
2. Run DxDiag and turn off DirectDraw Hardware Acceleration.

P.S.: May one of this help you.

Perhaps a reinstall, or do you have some kind of program that can open the movies beyond the XCC program? I had a similiar problem for one of my other games when I could set a certain 3rd party program to open its files.
