SUMMARY
Cinemania 1997 plays a full-screen video as part of the opening sequence. If running the video is causing problems with your computer and keeping Cinemania from starting, you may need to turn the opening video off.

This article discusses how to turn the opening video off using the Windows registry.



MORE INFORMATION
To turn the opening video off, do the following:
 * Go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Reference Titles\Cinemania 97\ key in the Windows 95 registry and change the value of the StartupVideo entry to 0.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the Changing Keys And Values online Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Note that you should make a backup copy of the registry files (System.dat and User.dat) before you edit the registry.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. The registry is a system-wide database used for storing Windows software and hardware configuration settings.

regedit

 When the Registry Editor appears, double-click the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder. Double-click the Software folder, and then the Microsoft folder.

Double-click the StartupVideo entry.</li> Change the Value Data from 1 to 0, and then click OK.</li> Click Registry, and then click Exit.</li> Restart Cinemania.</li></ol>
