Got this from here: http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=9095 OK, so the answer is to go back to the ICCVID.DLL version which was installed with Windows XP, Service Pack 1. On a Windows XP(SP1) CD-ROM the compressed version of the file is located in the \i386 sub-directory as the file ICCVID.DL_ with a file size of 36,141 bytes. Copy the compressed file to a temporary sub-directory, then use the WinXP command-line utility EXPAND.EXE as follows: EXPAND ICCVID.DL_ ICCVID.DLL This file expansion should yield the file ICCVID.DLL with a file size of 110,592 bytes, dated 08/29/2002. The version number is v1.10.0.6 and will correct all problems with 'cvid' AVI files. The recommendation would be to rename the current Service Pack 2 installed ICCVID.DLL file in the %windir%\System32 sub-directory. Also maintain a duplicate copy of the SP1 ICCVID.DLL file in the %windir%\System32 sub-directory in the case a future Windows XP Service Pack 3 would again replace the ICCVID.DLL with a newer, even less helpful version... So the %windir%\System32 sub-directory should contain: 08/29/2002 08:00 AM 110,592 iccvid.dll (v1.10.0.6) 08/29/2002 08:00 AM 110,592 iccvid.dll.sp1 (spare for future!) 08/04/2004 03:56 AM 80,384 iccvid.dll.sp2 (spare for future?) (broken!) It worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, I take no responsibility. More Questions? mail to Ed Home or ask the helpful captains at the sst-forum.
→ Mac OS X Full Install From StarshipTitanic Forum (posted in September 2004 by ColoradoJon) Mac OS X Full Install Thought I would share this for any Mac users that stop by. This is how to do a full install on Mac OS X running classic mode. Someone posted way back about the medium and full installs mysteriously disappearing after installation. First, trim your extensions using extension manager. Keep only the quicktime and open transport extensions. Disable everything else, including all control panels. Its best to make a new extension set, called "Starship Titanic". Launch the installer, select FULL install. Make sure both checkboxes are checked. Select your game destination folder and then start the install. You will be prompted for disk 2, and then disk 3. Then you will be asked to insert disk 1 again, but DON'T! Instead, use the finder to navigate to your install directory and DUPLICATE it. Once the copy is complete (you should have a "Starship Titanic" directory and a "Starship Titanic (copy)" directory), insert disc 1. The installer will continue and then delete the original "Starship Titanic" directory. Then launch the installer again, select the SMALL install, check both checkboxes, and select a destination folder. The small install will create the necessary preference file. Finish the game installation and then quit the Quicktime installer without installing it. Then, using the finder, navigate to the small install folder and delete it. Now rename your full install directory to "Starship Titanic". That's it, your done! You can remove the disc, put them away, and play the game! this file http://raumschifftitanic.rattarium.net/game/w2k_en.html - last update 8/2005
