If your system does not have the required codec for playing the intro movie, it will either crash or display a corrupt screen during playback.
This may also be a video card graphics driver glitch which should clear up after the first few frames of the AVI are played.
If an error is displayed, just click OK and the game may continue as normal.
The game requires Indeo 5.10 or higher codec. If the logo does not play, install the latest version of Windows Media Player on your system. Also read this if you are running Windows XP (pre-SP2)
You can also disable the intro animation by editing the properties of game shortcut and adding the /n parameter.
