Couldn't start new game of myth ii in xp

[Diego]

Hi,

I'm quite new to the myth II world simply because I can't get it started!!!
I'm running it under xp sp1 and directx 9.0b but when I click New Game and see the introduction, i instantly come back to the main menu!!!

Can anyone help me??? I loved MYTH TFL.

Thanks

Diego

Have you installed the 1.5 updater? If not start there. If you are on 1.5 already please post your mythlog.txt file here.

Ok, I'll try to move up to 1.5. Probably in a few days.
However I'll copy my myth_log.txt file cause I see I have a few problems and maybe you can help. Thanks.
NOTE: I never intalled the winnt 4.0 service pack 3 cause i'm running this in xp and couldn't find the pack.

Ok, now I have no idea why my pc don´t let me play Myth II.
I'm running it under xp professional, direct x 9.0b (i couldn't uninstall it), video card geforce FX 5200 128mb Nvidia2 or something like that.

So, If anyone can help me in my problem, I'm posting my mythlog.txt file.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING THIS!!

Babay!

You're missing some tags (data files). Well, not some, most, if not all of them.

What type of install did you do off your Myth II CD? Perhaps go back and make sure you do a full install.

[Doobie]

and then update to 1.5
