Troubleshooting / Nothing during FMV's (blank screen, no sound, can play game but without movies)

I had this problem and tried every (literally EVERY) solution for this available on the interweb.  I found that the solution for the problem did not lie in codecs, not in patches, and not in any setting changes.  The solution that fixed my problem with the FMV's was with a simple re-installation of the YAMAHA SoftSynthesizer S-YXG70.  Thats it!!! Thats all I had to do!  And just to make it clear, after each and every solution applied I tried to view the fmv's through the game, through windows media player (current version 11), via constant switch between HDD and CD through regedit all the while triple checking the directory paths and re-installing the game(over and over and over and over and....).  Then as i was about to give up, I decided to not re-install the game, not directshow, and not direct x(supplied version and current version), but YAMAHA SoftSynthesizer S-YXG70.  I made sure it wasn't working before I re-installed it, so after I knew that that could be the only possible factor in the entirety of the ordeal that would solve this problem for me.

And...You're Welcome!
