There should be 3 executables. AE, Faster AE and Fastest AE. MM is suggesting you try them all. I don't actually know what they do, but I can't see any harm in trying them.

I don't know if that applies if you're using the Steam version.

Did you download it from Steam?

If yes, right-click on the game name, click on Properties, go to the Local Files tab and click on the 'Verify Integrity of Game Cache' button

Well, if you downloaded a ripped version from the internet, they often delete some of the videos to reduce the filesize.

How big was the download?

Faster and Fastest disable the *Snigger* 'graphics-intensive' parts of the game such as cutscenes, FMVs and screen transitions.

My good-by-2003-standards computer runs it well, but encounters issues with FMVs freezing leading to me playing without a disk.

Which brings me to an interesting question. Is the disk in?
