Pretty much as the title said. I bought Thief I and II, installed them and tried to play. The intro movies play correctley and then as soon as the main menu appears the screen turns black and im thrown out to the desktop with the usual error message "program has encountered an error and has to shut down etc etc". I read the troubleshooting but i'm not much of a computer person, there was alot about DirectX 6, afaik i have a newer Direct X (9, i think...), is that the problem?

What operating system, Video card etc.
Solutions depend on what your system actually is.
Without that info, you are unlikely to get any real help. There are too many variables depending on your setup. You may end up trying 50 different "Fixes", instead of the one or two you need.
List your system specs.
