Theif 2 still works well on my secondary HD and I can play it no trouble. 
However, when I run it on my primary HD the strangest thing happens: when 
ever I die or complete a mission the game crashes!
Does anyone know why? I mean surely the game is running on the same system 
but a new HD?

Whoops! I figured it out already! My secondary drive had long since had the 
cut-scenes turned off because I found the "success" and "death" ones wore 
thin after a while. Suffice to say they were still turned on on my new HD 
and everytime it ried to play them the game would crash. I tried to play 
them out of the game too but no luck.I have WMP9 and my GFX card is a 
X800PRO. I wonder if this combination upsets T2 videos?

Thanks all

There are some video codec problems with XP.  Check out the FAQ which
discusses how to fix them:
