Damnit...just got this sometimes fun average FPS game that came out in 2005 that i played on my old computer which is XP but now i got vista whiich is pure crap.Install the game i ran it menu works fine i cant see the game cutscenes and can only hear so i said ''hmm maybe its just the cutscenes'' so when the mission starts all i see is a gray retarded screen and when i move my mouse around it goes all over the place and the sounds are ok but the video is just a gray screen...as i said menus work fine but what the hell!?

Go to the installed folder, find the games main ".exe" file (Like my Half life 2 .exe is "hl2.exe"). Right click, go to properties, click the Compatibility tab.

Check the box that says "Run in compatibility mode for:" then on the Drop down box select Windows XP. Press Ok and try the game again
