Schrullenhaft Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Which version of CM are you attempting to play ? Whose distribution is it (CDV's or BFC's) ? I think only CMBO has an intro movie utilizing the Indeo codec (which you have to pay to get now). I'm not sure what codec CDV uses for some of their splash-screen mini-movies. If you assume that QuickTime is causing the problem, you can uninstall it, though it should still work. What videocard and what Windows version are you running ? Has a Prefs file been generated by CM yet ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have no idea why QuickTime should be causing a problem. Maybe it's some weird interpretation of the codecs needed to playback the movie. Pressing Shift while launching CM should "kill" the intro movie and this may alleviate your problem (allowing you to have QuickTime installed and still be able to play CMBO). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Isenberg Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Ok I disables the starting movie (though I did like it to show others what to expect and what it could do) then reinstalled itunes/quicktime combo now CM:BO works Thanks Schrullenhaft for the help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
