Can you run the debug version and tell us what it tells you?

Also, the missing WAVapi message - does that cause a crash?

Just extract that and run it, and if/when it crashes it'll give you much more information. Then, if you can post that here it'll be helpful.

The intro video does not cause a crash, only when attempting gameplay. I will run the debug later this evening. I will also provide a screen shot of said issues.

For the "missing WAVapi" bit, is that the whole message? It could be we're using a codec for the intro video that's not shipped by default in Win2K.

Tip: You can copy the entire text of a Windows dialog box with "Ctrl+C". No need to select the text. That way, we can see what the exact message is. (This is a somewhat-obscure Windows feature).

r187 fixes the "m_time != -1" problem I suspect you're having. The intro.avi was XviD I believe (correct me if I'm wrong Austin). The installer for the DivX codec can be found at  http://download.divxmovies.com/XviD-1.1.3-27042008.exe; perhaps we should be bundling that with the installer and installing that in addition to HoverRace?

Reassigning to me. I'm working on switching the intro movie display to use DirectShow, so we can use the full array of codecs available. The step after that is to re-encode the intro movie using a codec that's shipped by default in Win2K/XP.

r871 adds initial DirectShow support.
