Ok, I've owned and enjoyed the whole Thief series for quite a while...
Recently I got the urge to Play Thief 3 again and Installed it... It installed just fine, but when I try to run it, T3MAIN.exe just idles using 99 percent cpu and never gets anywhere.... I've tried patching, reinstalling, I even went as far as to reinstall windows...
No Luck...
So after much searching I gave up, and said "well, i'll just play thief 2 again instead"...
So i installed it, no problems there. I go to run it and it goes to a black screen and then quits to windows with the generic "thief2 has encountered an error and must close bla bla bla send report dont send report"
If i take the cd out, it shows the splash screen and asks for the proper cd...
HELP! I feel deprived without being able to play either one lol...

system specs ?
You need at least a nvidia fx 5200 real video card ( no integrated video ) to
play t3.
If you have xp home editon you will have issues as well.
Look in the faq if you have everything ok and dont work.
