When I start the game, I used to get an intro movie where the leaders described their empire.
I got a new computer, and the intro is gone.
What do you think I need to do to get the movie to play again?

Re: Intro movie not playing
I realize that this is an old post, but I'm having the same problem.
I'm running Win XP SP2 on an old Alienware Pentium4 rig built in 2004.
The intro movies/cinematics used to play in the past.
I have uninstalled the game since then, and recently decided to play the game again. Once re-installed, the movies do not play.
I tried installing vanila version, patch 1.02, Joker Mod --- same story.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?

This answer was mentioned in a recent thread:
