Hello, I have a genuine (DVD) copy of Claw, I installed it but when I try to play it, all I see is the Monolith Productions cinematic introduction and then the screen turns black but I can still hear some sounds (like pirates talking, swords, etc). When the screen turns black, an error message wil pop up if I press almost any key.

I've done a few things to try to fix this problem, none of them worked: I configured the screen's resolution to 640x480, I configured the game to be executed with 256 colors, I configured the game's compatibility to Windows 95.
Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You could try updating Claw to version 1.3 if you haven't done so yet (the patch can be downloaded here). And if anything else fails, run CLAWADV.EXE from the /MISC directory on the DVD and check if disabling the movies completely solves the problem.

Thanks so much guys. I disabled direct video access and the problem was solved. Thanks again, you were both very helpful.
