I've got a new problem - intro crash!

[Solocooler]

After resolving my problems with directx8 (which took me about three weeks) I stumbled upon some new images/icons/mad.gif . I view the intro and the game starts loading up but stops after one third has been loaded. And I have to reboot in order to get out. The worst thing is that I know what I am supposed to do but the problem me not being a computer genius, more closer to plain ABAKUS genius. I have to right click the chortcut and then what...? Please help me out here, please!!!

Try this. Right click on the Max Payne icon, and make the target line look like this:

Thank´s Joe. I really needed that. BUT... Guess what? The problem remains. I´m past the intro sequence and straight on the loading screen but again it´s filled only one third. Out of desperation I tried -nodialog, -disable3dpreload, -windows, -screenshot, -developer but yet again it´s the same thing. Since I´m tired of rebooting my system over and over again does anyone have any pointers? I would really appreciate it.

i seem to have a similar problem, but it stops with the message : bla bla , memory could not be written. i'm running win2k Pro and it worked before. Not sure if this message is hardware related.

Same problem here too... get to one-third loading then my mouse pointer pops on screen and the only way out is to restart. I have up to date everything; don't tell me I just spent fifty dollars for this snazzy MP mouse pad.
