I have been having the same problem that all of you are with the choppy and skipping movies.

I have been experiencing 2 difficulties with this game: choppy movies and the targeting reticles do not appear correctly. Through a twist of fate, when I upgraded from my aging K6-3 processor, the motherboard at the time was a FIC VA-503+, I had origionally gotten a Shuttle Spacewalker AK-10 and that is when the reticle problems started. After changing my SB 16 PCI card to the Fortissimo 2 because the 16 could not play MP3's properly, the MP3 audio was all crackly and totally unreadable, the MP3 problem was fixed but the movie skipping bug sat in. I then changed to a SY series motherboard (wish I could remember the exact make and model) and both problems disappeared. While the manufacturer was different, the board was almost identical to the Shuttle Spacewalker AK-10 in terms of specs and capabilities, but an EM surge toasted it through the internet on the second day and I replaced it with the Asus KT-133 and both problems set back in again. So my conclusion is that your problems can be fixed or are at least caused by a conflict by your motherboard's management of it's resources, the one we all agree on at the minimum is the sound cards. If anyone gets any more details on how to resolve these problems, I'd greatly appreciate it.
