The installation of The Movies and the Stunts and Effects expansion works fine (and it automatically installs DirectX 9.0c and Windows Media Player 9). However, on running the game, the intro movies show, and then the game crashes just before it hits the main menu. As a test, I tried wine StarMaker.exe (which also crashes), and here's the output : Code: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x2c26910e (thread 002f), starting debugger... Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x2c26910e).

0x0044727b in starmaker (+0x4727b) (0x00000000) (I had problems with rpcrt4.dll earlier, and worked around it by copying a native version and running winecfg to pick up the native one) If I copy in a native d3d9.dll, I get a So-and-So-function not implemented in GDI32.dll (and replacing the GDI32 dll is not recommended, says winecfg). Have verified that this runs on Windows XP on identical specification computer (ie, Hardware should not be a problem) AppDB gives this game a Platinum rating, so hoping for an easy fix...
