The “-novid” option doesn’t work for me but the dll in that update cab does (even though it has a few funny effects while the game is loading).
What to do:
- Download the 64 bit version from Skitch’s MS link. Don’t open it, just save it. (The 64 bit version also contains the 32 bit versions). The 64 bit dll version in this update doesn’t work for me either.
Direct link - https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/6/3/963B01D2-97C2-416B-B97A-38BF39E8B763/Windows6.0-KB939130-x64.msu - Use Skitch’s example script to extract it.
- Copy the DLL from one of the x86 folders and paste it where I described in my earlier post.
