Republic Commando not working

[gbdude]

about the 100% loading screen error. im thinking that it has something to do with the video/audio codecs. somehow i managed to get the game working before i had to reformat my drive. after reformating my drive, i had to reinstall it.

problems i encountered:

after installing, i used the patches found here on copyworld.com and applied to it. i started up everything and the screen crashes telling me that the program has crashed and gives me that "send error report" i fixed that problem by uninstall Nimo 8.0 Codec from my system and keeping only Xvid and DivX. i started it up again and it worked.

now the next problem i havent been able to fix just like everyone else here is the 100% loading error at "The Beginning" loading. for me the system freezes and my computer sound systems go blank. before Sp2 was installed, it stated that there was a error with a Device that made the freeze. but i havent figured out what the device is either. i have a Radeon card that does support pixel shading so its not that problem. but its a device problem for me. im still trying to find out.
