Before downloading Windows SP2, I played Thief 2 Gold with no problem on my XP desktop. Now, I can't play it! Thief 2 installs without incident, I get the mission overview w/ Garrett's voice over, and the mission screen. Then the game starts looking all pixilated, as if the game is running in safe mode. About 2 seconds later, it crashes, with a Windows error message. I tried looking at some of the fixes on these threads; tried removing the ; from the
;safe_texture_manager in the Thief 2 folder. I tried doing the
Start - Run - D:\setup.exe -lgntforce, still no luck. Chose the "install Direct X 7" option during install. I'm stumped. Anybody out there know what to do?
