movietex.act is a 16kb ACT file in the root folder of SH III.

If the file is missing, I would do the install over again just to be safe. You never know, there could other things messed up as well. Good luck.

I have had the same problem in the past. Just do a 'modify' installation that should put the missing file in. There should be a tick box labeled 'game files'. That is of course for the stock installation prior to adding any mod packages GWX or others.

I've done exactly as you suggested 3Jane,and,fingers crossed its working

thank you so very much

I have had the same problem with a clean install. I have a new disk and have deleted all the old sh3 and commander files that I could locate and then ran the install. I am getting the message that the movietex.act file is causing the problem. I have tried the modify and repair box and neither seems to do the trick.

Any suggestions?
