Problem with Demigod

Fatal Error?

Hi there. Ive wanted to play Demigod, so I bought it (duh -.-)
The installation went perfectly and smooth, but when I started the game this appeared while loading the intro:

When I tried to start the game by using Demigod.exe in the map Program Files, a popup appeared with the nice message that I'm missing bwink32.dll. But when I use "search", it becomes clear that I already have the file from "RAD video tools".

Laptop Info:

Model: Acer Aspire 5536
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processor QL 64 (2.1 GHz)
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics Up to 1408 MB HyperMemory
RAM: 4 GB
Im not really sure about the rest. According to a friend I should be able to play Demigod ("slow, but it can play", he said)

TY in advance for taking the time to read this, and for answering:grin:

The binkw32.dll file should also be in your \Demigod\bin directory. If it's not there, then something probably went wrong during the installation. Try verifying the installation with Impulse (open Impulse, go to My Games, rightclick on Demigod and select "Verify Installation"). If that does not do anything, try a reinstallation.
