Slipping Intro in Bioshock

[Khrest]

So I wanted to go back and play Bioshock through before the new one comes out. However my 5850 has problems with some types of full screen video and puts the system into what appears to be a permanent loop of restarting the GFX adaptor. I get the same problems with stuff on Gametrailers if I go full screen.

Anyhoo, because the makers of Bioshock thoughtfully decided that we MUST sit through the intro movie when starting a new game, I cannot actually play my copy.

I've not found anything on google, but does anybody have any ideas how I can use the 5 seconds of control I have when the movie starts (guy sitting in airplane about to crash) to get past it to the game proper?

Absolutely everything else I have plays fine so I tend to think its not the hardware. There is a known issue listed on the 10.1 readme regarding h264 playback so it may be that.

Given everything else works I dont want to mess with my setup; I loaded up the 10.1 Cats last night and suddenly got the giant mouse cursor back so I'm giving those a miss.

phill0i, that would be cool, my email is in Trust if you wanna send it as a zipped attachment, I can then start a new game and hopefully I'll be able to skip it.

Cheers!
