Renaming the file didn't help.  Does the file LGVID apply to cutscenes?  If so it's running the program at all that I'm having issues with.

As for service pack 3... no comment.

Wait a minute, sorry I do have service pack 3.  I thought I didn't.

Yeah LGVID.AX applies to the videos, but since the first thing the game tries to do is play a video...

Are you sure that torrent is a clean game, ie has no previously applied patches, mods, etc?
You can usually tell if it says something like "Win2k/Vista/7" in the name that it's been fiddled with.

Here's my source.  I'm not sure what version it is or if it already comes with a no-cd or any other kind of patches. It is odd though that the file is an exe.  I doubt however, that it is a later version, due to all the bugs that come with playing it immediately after installing.

Do you think I should find somewhere else to get it?

"number of games in the system shock series:"... this question made me sad.

I think it would be better to look for somewhere else to get a clean game.

Apart from that though make sure you installed the game according to the SS2TechFAQ, that is NOT using the original installer, and try rebooting after installing the SS2Tool. Also take out those compatibility modes.

There were occasional reports from people with two graphics cards or two monitors who had to turn one off. However for them the game usually ran, just with a black screen.
