I've read a previous thread mentioning that XP Pro is required to run BEL. Unfortunately, I just have XP Home.
In fact, I have no problem installing the game. The real problem, I suppose, comes from the movie clips.
Whenever a movie clip (e.g. the "EIDOS" logo before the game start or the black & white films depicting the historic background) is played during the game, the screen goes blank(dark) but I can hear the sound effects & the narrative. The program doesn't respond to my mouse clicks or keystokes.
I've tried executing the BEL program without the CD. It's perfectly fine. I can go to the Main Menu, where I can load some old saved games (saves that are almost 10 years old, haha). I can play those saved games without problem.
However, when I want to start a new game, the program requires me inserting the CD... and after that, a video is triggered and I encounter the problem I mentioned before.
Would anybody help me, please?
Thanks in advance! |
