Try two things: Be SURE that sound and video are fully accelerated. Then try to make a new windows profile and start the game with it.

I tried all the sound and graphic options...just can't get it 2 work
It shows a black screen with fable in the left top, then after 2 seconds it's gone and that's it
Must be my stupid Ati 9800 pro card... I hate ati, nvidia is just more compatible
Oh yeah, I run xp pro sp2 and latest drivers!

Did you create a new user in XP and start the game with that?

I think the problem is that Fable have problems playing the videos. But I'm not sure how to fix it. Try renaming the VIDEO folder to _VIDEO and make a empty VIDEO folder. See if you make it to the menu..

Many others have the same problem with the videos. I'll post a solution here if I find one.. Some said they did a codec rollback to fix it, though I don't know how they did it.

one fix for the video problem is to go to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/format/codecdownload.aspx and download the codec pack for your OS. install it and it should wipe clear the offending codec (not sure which one it is, so if you have a special set of codecs that you absolutely need, you may want to avoid doing this).

, latest drivers
Anybody got some more ideas ?
Try unloading windowblinds or make a per-application rule for fable.exe to ignore/not skin. I got the same error and it helped
