I did a search but couldn't find a conclusive solution. Here's my problem:
I try to open Thief 2 on my computer (Vista, nVidia 8800GTX) but it flickers a black screen for a few secs, then crashes to desktop. I went down the FAQ, and tried to install ddfix - however when I click to Apply Patch, it says it can't find any instance of ddraw.dll and quits. How do I get the patch to work, and will this actually solve the problem? :confused:
Thanks!

You can get prepacthed thief2.exe from this thread "
DDFix and Enhanced Resolution Patch (including widescreen support)" in this forum or if you want to patch yourself then get (
http://thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=423) Thief 2 Premier Patch. Extract thief2.exe from that archive to your Thief 2 folder. Remember to make backup from existing thief2.exe.

Thanks, I've got the game working and the colours fixed now.
However, I have no fog! :( I've searched through these forums but I can't seem to find any solution to disappearing fog with nVidia/Vista combo. Is there a solution or am I gonna have to be fogless for the time being?

Leading from my experiences I can say, this is a "vista problem"...
