Thank you everyone for your help so far. When I install the game from image without any updates (v 1.0), it launches normally but the graphics are so messed up that I can only quit. Then, in a different installment, dopemans v 1.1 I can run it normally and graphics are ok. However when I update the image installation to 1.4, the load indicator goes to the very end and load screen disappears but neither graphics nor menu appears (the screen remains black). When I update to 1.5 (Uboat Missions), the load indicator freezes though the load screen remains. I obtained another image of Uboat Missions and it has the same problem.
Earlier, the Uboat Missions that were installed from the image some people think is faulty booted perfectly so I don't believe the images are corrupt. After I tried Godfather II and after I had problems with computer cutting off power (the grills between processor and its fan was totally covered with dust which I cleaned), this problem emerged. Strangest of all, it seems like the higher the patch version, the more likely the error is to occur. In 1.1 it still works so fine, in 1.4 the error shows up. I have a feeling I may have installed something inappropriate in dirextX or some other service like that when I tried Godfather 2. However I will also defrag if nothing else helps.
