I have tried all compatibility modes, but I think it is an OpenGL thing. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.html 2012-08-31T08:06:18+00:00 Notos Windows XP 32 Bit 5 basic is OK, patched 1.33 too https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.html 2012-08-31T08:06:18+00:00 Anonymous Windows XP 32 Bit 5 Working on getting the AVI's to play.

Then it will install under Windows 2000 without a problem. 2) I did not have to run 'setup.exe -lgntforce' from the Thief CD with the released version of Windows 2000 Professional as indicated by someone else's earlier post. The program 'autorun' after inserting the CD and it installed and played with no problem. I had the Windows 2000 compatibility patch applied before I installed Thief though. 3) Tried it with the -Igntforce and get 'This product cannot be installed on Windows NT due to a Microsoft DirectX(tm) limitation'. I have the MS Compatibility patch. NOTE - I run SMP with dual Celeron. 4) If run on SMP system try setting the thief.exe process to use only one processor. This is done in the Task Manager - right-click on the process and select "Set affinity". The game will normally freeze during gameplay if run on SMP systems without setting affinity first. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.html 2012-08-31T08:06:18+00:00 Anonymous Windows NT 4.0 1 I ran 'setup.exe -lgntforce' from the Thief CD and the game installed with warning messages about no hardware graphics acceleration. The intro movies played fine. At the point that the game started to execute each time a Dr. Watson 'access violation' error occurred. This was with the unofficial DirectX 5 patch installed. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.html 2012-08-31T08:06:18+00:00 Anonymous Windows 2000 5 Thief: The Dark Project Demo - https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.html 2012-08-31T08:06:18+00:00 Anonymous Windows NT 4.0 5 Thief: The Dark Project Demo Works on SP3 with Dx5 patch. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.html
