mysterious phenomen vista 32 bit

[BlackWood]

Hello Guys,
i have an old game called RUNAWAY 1 and like to get it run. It's still working with a little fix, but it gave problems with the sub sequences.

The actor starts changing from one room to another at outside of the building over a ledge. This works automatically by watching a sub video.

Using Haali's or LAV's Splitter the actor goes out of the window in a millisecond, stops and sounds some words, than black screen with sound, but the game runs not forward.

Using Gabest's Splitter the video runs well, he goes outside the building, he stops a moment, but no sound at this time. Then he reaches the room and this sub video goes in a loop.
Same happens in the Intro at starting the game. After actors talking, a sub video are shown with sound. After completion of this videos the game get here in a loop, too - showing same video, but without sound now.

who is able to help me with the codecs !?

Can you please give us your PC specs?
OS version?
Newest video drivers installed for your graphic card?

Maybe you could check the install folder and check what kind of video it played (e.g. bink?).

Did you try to reset the settings?
Newest Vista codec package installed?

Notebook
Vista 32 Bit Home Premium latest windows updates

Nvidia High def audio 1.3.18.0 seems used only for hdmi output
Realtek High def audio 6.0.1.6482 used for the stereo speakers

Newest video drivers installed for your graphic card?

latest drivers supported by medion vendor 8.16.11.8691 for both
Nvidia Geforce 9600m gs and 9100m g 1024 MB for both included 512MB shared memory over bios option
( i like to update them but unforunately the drivers from Nvidia direct causes a main memory conflict shown in device manager)

I can not checked the video files - there are contained in special game files
in DataV directory i found for example this file: DATAVA01.001

The Gabest's option i used under AVI Tab (other options not working)

Did you try to reset the settings?

Yes - additonal i changed the codecs options various times - the fault is repeatable

Newest Vista codec package installed?

yes 6.4.6 newest (the thumbnails working very fast - thats really nice)

thank you in advance - if needed more information, please ask again.

Everything seems to be in order, it is probably a compatibility problem.

Did you try running the game in Compatibility mode (right-click on program - properties - Compatibility - run in Win XP compatibility mode)?

Have you tried uninstalling the codec packege, does it work then?

If nothing helps, I would suggest check the game´s forum for more suggestions.

Hello guys,
i uninstalled the package and the game runs. I played it through and after, i installed the package new and same problems occuring. After new uninstallation the game works again.

During uninstallation, i attached a JPG, the template shows crazy symbols - should be fixed.

New questions now after uninstallalation!

1. I would like to use the icaros thumbnail feature only is that possible ?

2. Now i cannot play FLV videos with the Windows Media Player. After
opening came a template with note > device or path can not be found

FYI: I play carom3d online. I had the effect by using back spin that the
ball runs often not in wanted order back. After removal of the codec
package all works fine. (The Carom Software is based on IE Explorer)

Would be glad the receive some solutions,

To solve your issue, go to the Misc TAB and disable the Haali splitter
test
If there is a problem. press [Reset All] and then disable the LAV splitter

Hello guys,

i tryed your offer but nothing helps - I used a lot of more combinations, too.

In point of icaros: I downloaded a stand alone package but it is not very useful.
The icaros feature in your package helps really. But how can i use this without issues to my game ?

hope you can help

Download the attached registry file and doubleclick it to install.
Afterwards, open the Icaros configuration utility, Deactivate Icaros, and then Activate it again.
