Hey hey hey! Be patient! Sheesh... We're not a customer service board.:tsktsk:

We need more information to find out what to tell you. A generic error message doesn't help.

What have you tried?
Have you tried a reinstall?
When you uninstalled it before, did you delete the folder manually, or did you do a proper uninstall? If you deleted it manually, you may have a registry issue.
What happens if you click directly on the EXE on the disc, instead?

Please be detailed, and don't get annoyed if we have to leave the room to go do something.

well i installed the game a couple of times and every time i got the same msg. i uninstalled the game from ad-remove programs and als0 manually deleted the game folder.
i m using no-cd crack for the game and getting this msg but i m getting the same msg when i try to run the game from cd with original thief2.exe file.

It's possible that your virus protection or malware detection software is blocking it. Or, perhaps new software or software updates installed in the last 6 months is causing an issue now.

Check the error detail (click the link in the message). If it reads "appname:thief2.exe modname:lgvid.ax" then it's definitely a (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=75031#movies) codec issue.
