Took me a while to find out but this is the solution:<\/p>\n

1) Install the game, if you run into problems at this stage, set the MafiaLauncher.exe<\/em> and MafiaSetup.exe<\/em> executables on CD1 to Compatibility Mode: Windows XP SP2. If it fails, execute it as an administrator.<\/p>\n

2) Go into C:\\Program Files\\Mafia en set the executable Game.exe<\/em> to Compatibility Mode: Windows XP SP2<\/p>\n

3) Go out and search the web for an update to 1.2 (mafia_patch_1.2_eng.exe).\u00a0On the web you will find\u00a0sites which refer to patch 1.3 and 1.2,\u00a0there is no difference. I found it here<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

4) Go into C:\\Program Files\\Mafia en execute Setup.exe. <\/em>Make sure you configure it as follows:<\/p>\n

\"Mafia<\/p>\n

5) Now sometimes you might be able to play now, if not, follow the next step. You can test this by playing an intro.avi from the c:\\program files\\mafia folder. If you have video, your good to go!<\/p>\n

6) In order to play the intro movies of Mafia (and play the game), you need and Indeo codec. This is unsupported on Vista (as a matter of fact, starting Windows XP SP1 and higher). Go out and fetch a freeware Indeo codec. I’ve got it from this site<\/a>. Starting from version 5.2 you have to pay for it so make sure you find an older one \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

7) Open a command prompt with elevated right (hit the start button, type CMD, right click it and choose \u00a0“Run as an administrator”. In the console type: regsvr32 ir50_32.dll<\/em><\/p>\n

8 ) Try to play the game and please leave a comment if this guide helped you out (or not)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
