As one could have noticed I restarted Thief Gold recently (three days ago) one thing I noticed is that playing the "dark project levels" all works fine, but after the Gold level Song of the caverns the mission intros begin to fail, I mean I can't see them in game, they are simply skipped, now, i love to see those videos in the game and as i appreciate them a lot i look at them sometimes with the media player, is there a way to fix this?
As I would love to have some shots of the videos, is there a way to save some frame as image (that's more technical and not exactly specific for thief, but as I want to know to save some thief video frame to make a wallpaper i think it's right to ask)
Last thing, in the thief gold CD 2 there are zip files with desktop themes for win 98 and 95, actually I'm still using win 2000 (because i hate XP) and i can't open those zip files, is this a problem of windows, of winzip\winrar (used both of them) or else? Do I have to install win 98 to reopen those files and get them out before uninstalling win 98?
Thanks again

Regarding the problem with the cutscenes, start here: (

Extracting individual frames from video (AVI) files: use VirtualDub from (
http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/) http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/ First open a video file, use the slider to go to the frame you want, then (from the menu) Video / Copy source frame to clipboard. The frame is now in the clipboard, paste it into an image editor of your choice.
