Any help with this is greatly appreciated. I've scanned a lot of forums, and while I've found similar posts on my problem, the web pages are gone or I can't connect to them. I'm really at a loss.

I install T2 no problem. When I run Thief2.exe, I get an error message. "Thief 2:The Metal Age has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I hope this problem sounds familiar.

I'm running this in Windows XP. I managed to successfully run the program when I first installed it, but never again. But I know it can run.

I will post the error log below. Again, any (real) help is appreciated.
