I cannot seem to run Thief2 anymore. It was working fine and then suddenly the right mouse button wasn't being recognized in game. I couldn't "use" anything. I couldn't figure out what the problem was so I reinstalled Thief2 to see if that would fix the problem and now Thief2 won't start at all. I've tried reinstalling several times, I've cleaned up my registry and I've checked for viruses. This is the error message and details I get when I try to launch the .exe:
Thief 2: The Metal Age has stopped working

Nope.

running as admin I assume? which ddfix version do you have installed? if the latest one, I would try 1.5.5 (should be an user selectable option in Tafferpatcher)/

Originally, I was not running as admin and I was using ddfix 1.5.5. But after having so much trouble getting it to run after reinstalling it, I just tried to run it with no additions. Just the straight .exe right out of the box, so to speak. But it won't run with or without admin status and it won't run with or without ddfix installed.

no overclocking I assume? anyway, rule number one is: always take the cutscenes out of the equation. rename/move away the movies folder and/or LGVID.ax and see if that gets you somewhere.
Tannar on 20/6/2012 at 00:21
No, no overclocking. Good idea about the movies but I tried it and no joy.
Even though I cleaned the registry after uninstalling, I can't help but wonder if it is a registry issue, only because it happened after a reinstall.

the game does nor really care about registry. maybe it can't find its resources for some weird reason? try posting the contents of your cam.cfg and darkinst.cfg, maybe there' something missing..

double check that all the crf files are in the res folder, and try adding game_screen_size 1024 768 (or you can try your native resolution as well) to your cam.cfg.
