Cut-Scenes are not working for me in the Demo

[Anonymous]

Hi,
During cut-scenes (like the intro), I get a repeated noise from the speaker, black screen, and 100% cpu load.
What's oging on?
Thanks in advance,

The cutscenes are standard MPEG-1 video files.  You should probably check to see if your system has any problems playing MPEG-1 videos under normal circumstances in Windows Media Player.  If you also experience problems there, then it might have something to do with your computer's ability to play back these kinds of video files.

Some suggestions:

-Update your video card drivers to the latest version.

-Install the latest version of DirectX, available from http://www.microsoft.com/directx/

-If you continue to get scratchy sound in the game and cutscenes, try running the winsetup.exe file and changing the sound driver to something else. That usually fixes the problem.
