Status : Online | I am having the same problem, except I have the original Scratches, not the Director's Cut. I did try the scream.cfg trick, but it won't even boot up at all when I try. Any ideas? I'm running Windows 7, too.

Did you apply the hyperthreading patch before you started the game? It could be a totally unrelated issue to the .cfg settings.

Status : Offline | Nucleosys is no longer up and running, but I seem to recall Agustin mentioning another potential setting in the configuration file that could cause errors (it was a sound setting).
Make a good backup of the original, and see if you can find it (I don't have the game installed at the moment).
Actually - just post your configuration file, that way we can take a look at it.

You did run the patch - right?

I encounter the same problem, which the cutscene play music but no picture at all, which can be forwarded by pressing the esc key. May you please enlighten me as to which drivers you are referring at...
Many thanks for your answers...

Status : Online | I was encountering the same problem with the cutscenes (black with music/sound). I was about to post my problem here till I tried one last solution that apparently worked.
I reinstalled the game and installed the patch BEFORE I started up the game (previously, I had installed the patch after starting the game as I was unaware of it at the time).
Hope this helps.
