The classic movie crash...

Nope definitely don't delete it.

If anything try the steps mentioned here:
www.swat3lastresort.info/index.php/swat-2-startup-crash-fix

After you make the permission change please reboot and then try Swat 3 with one of the replacment movies.  Not the original.

If that doesn't work your can revert back to your previous permissions.   No harm.

Updated:  I am changing what I originally posted here.  Give me one hour and I will make a new tutorial for something also I want you to check.

Thanks.

I done that, but unfortunately Swat 3 still crashes on any movies with the original movie files AND with the divx files.
One thing to note, is that even with the permission for dplayx.dll updated, even swat 2 is not able to play its movies.

You need to install the XVID replacement movies for Swat 2 for it to work.

Sorry, I should have included the movie link in the tutorial, lol.

*ARRRRRRRRG*
Im getting crazy the divx replacements movies for SWAT 2 dosent work either.

Okay, i think at least we can see that there is a common problem between Swat 2 and Swat3...
I dont really care for Swat2 honestly, but it may provide some indications at least...

Just to clarify they are XVID not DIVX. Two different codecs.

Still working on a tutorial to check Windows logs...
