Video STILL not working

Okay, so after much pain, I finally got Thief: TDP working on Win 7. However, my cut scenes are still not working. I've tried the fixes listed, no luck. When I run the command prompt

Quote:

regsvr32.exe LGVID.AX

I get an error message with error code 0x80070005.

I looked up the error code, and got a bunch of very unhelpful responses about editing the plug and play service, which I am apparently unable to do.

messing with the codec is (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134733) not necessary anymore.

I did use TFix - it was the only way to get the game running in the first place. Still no video, though.

rebooting the pc usually solves that.

Reregistering the codec does not work on Windows 7 the way you did it.
You must specify the full path to LGVID.AX and you also need to run it with elevated Administrator privileges.

Solution 5:

Create a batch file called regindeo.bat (in notepad make sure to save as with file type of all files and type in the extension of .bat before hitting save) with the following:

regsvr32.exe D:\Games\Thief2\LGVID.AX

Where "D" is your drive letter, and the path that follows is where your game is installed, which may not be games\thief2. (Same applies for thief or thief gold.)

Important note: If you are on windows vista/7 (xp?), you will need to right click the bat file and choose Run as Administrator in order for it to work. If you don't, the register of the dll will fail.
