CTD when watching videos

Hi everybody. This is my first post, hopefully in the right place :) I just installed FS2004 on my laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate. Flying and everything runs perfectly. However I have a major problem, when I try to watch any of the ingame training videos, FS2004 crashes to the desktop without any error messages. I tried all the compatibility settings with no luck. When setting compatibility mode to Vista SP2, the game does not crash, but then there is no picture on the videos just the sound. I noticed that somebody experienced the same problem on another forum, by a search on Google, but there was never posted a solution. If anybody has experienced a similar problem and knows of a solution, I would be grateful :) Thanks - Bahr
