Then I found this lifesaver here at TWC.
Well to get to the point, the following worked for me:
Go to the folder EB\Data\fmv\lose and deactivate all video files (.wmv) there, by moving them into a newly created folder named '[DISABLED]' (or the like) in the same folder
I.E. cut and paste all video files in EB\Data\fmw\lose into EB\Data\fmv\lose\[DISABLED].
So now the EB\Data\fmv\lose folder should only contain the tga-files and the '[DISABLED]' folder (which contains the video files).
That worked for me at least. If you still get the ActiveMovie window my guess is to additionally try this:
In EB\Data\fmv\lose additionally cut and paste all tga-files into the [DISABLED] folder, so that the EB\Data\fmv\lose folder only contains the '[DISABLED]' folder
And/or do the above to the EB\Data\fmv\intros folder perhaps
Regards!
