Crash after starting cinematice? (TA)

I'm getting the same stuff when trying to run Twilight or Dark Avatar. I can run Dread Lords fine. I have updated my video drivers (or at least WU did when I rebooted after uninstalling Nvidia drivers - couldn't stop it):

My debug.err:

I had Dread Lords and Avatar in My Games list on Impulse already and bought Twilight today. I have reinstalled both Avatar and Twilight.

I am also getting problems with Impulse. Normally when I open it I'll have a windows taskbar across the top of the screen with a close icon. Lately that bar has been going missing and the only way to close Impulse is via the menus. Restartiung the program won't bring back the bar, only a reboot will work. I don't know if anything is connected, but it seems both me and the OP reinstalled recently.

Go to My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArmor, open the file prefs.ini, and make the following changes:

Change
DisplayWidth=1024
DisplayHeight=768
ColorDepth=32
Fullscreen=1

To
DisplayWidth=(Your desktop width)
DisplayHeight=(Your desktop height)
ColorDepth=32
Fullscreen=0

Then save the file and start the game.

Try disabling the custom skin in Impulse's options.

Thanks Kryo. I managed to get it sorted before I saw your reply. I changed the preferences file to just fullscreen off and managed to get in the game. I then changed the resolution and fullscreen options in game and, hey presto, I'm able to load the game now. There's no way I could play windowed all the time so hopefully it's a permanent fix (does seem to be upon further testing).

Managed to sort the impulse problem too by pure trial and error. I really should learn to work on problems before I post, though I did find the answer in another thread. Someone's telling me to search.

Sadly it's way too late to start a new game now. Thanks for the prompt help though, it's appreciated.

Thanks.

Sorry it took my a few days to be able to try out this fix, and sadly, it didn't work. Here's my debug:

As the debug shows no indication that it's a language setting either then, please contact [email protected] for further help.

Will do - thanks for trying to help. Much appreciated. (:
