I don't undertand all (sorry my English ). After u reinstall(where u installed the game) u copied the game data folder to C:\Program files??

U sad "From de disc with all the assets inclued then past them into the base folder" From what disc??? The "base folder" of the folder that the game was installed or the "base folder" of GameData u past in C:\program files?????

That means you do not have a gfx card with 3d accelerator, you can download a software that emulates 3d accelaration from http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/ent/gld_home.php

i have been curretly experiencin the same as the origional problem. After reading through the thread and tryin the numerous solutions suggested , almost none have worked. The one way i could get the game to run was to download SciTech GLDirect 5.0 which was mentioned previously. Another problem then occured as it was a demo version (SciTech) after a certain time on the game the words demo version become pasted on the screen making it unplayable. Is there any other versions freely downloadable? Or is there a better solution which i have overlooked?
