Also...its supposed to say "Sp1"....not "Sp."
Hi. So i recently found my old copy of LRR in a stack of games I used to play. I remember how much I loved the game and decided to play it again. The installation went sucessful and the program is installed. However, when i start the game, the loading screen apears and then once finished loading the screen goes black. I can hear the intro movie but nothing is displayed. I tried the video codec and the universal extractor tips as well but that did not fix the problem. When I tried running in the "capatability mode:windows98/me, disable visual themes, disable destop composition, run as admin" the game doesn't even run and crashes right after the loading screen. I am at a loss at what to do and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7050. Which I hope is a good thing and can be worked around

Well It's not the problem then. LRR doesn't like Radeon cards, so you're fine. The only other things I can think of is try running it windowed and messing with those options.

About Radeon its not true i did some research a while back because im running 2 Radeon GPU's in crossfire the problem is though that on default settings the option Catalyst AI is enabled disable this and the game wont crash.
And will just work fine. But if you're running Multi Graphics cards you have to disable it (aswell for Nvidia graphics cards)

It's totally true but on a case-by-case basis. Enough people with Radeon cards here, including myself, have experienced things like major slowdown or the game just not working. Yes, if you change the right settings you can improve how well the game runs, but sometimes you can't. LRR is just one of those games that works differently for every single computer.

Anyways, for compatibility mode I've found that Windows 2000 works more often than Windows 98/ME. I also run in 256 colors but that's only so that Fraps records the game correctly... but the game runs fine for me without that on. You might also want to try removing the intro movies if you don't care that you can't see them. If you can run the game without the disk, then simply removing the movies from your LRR directory will work; the game doesn't care if they're there or not. If you need the disk to play, then you can disable the movies completely. In the Lego.cfg file, look for the line 'DontPlayAvis FALSE' and change the FALSE to TRUE.
