Can't launch game

I got a new computer because my old one randomly stopped last week. I still haven't gotten it working again, which stinks because I was actually getting ready to post a mod. (why did I have to explain that?)

 

   So, I installed my lego racers on the new computer. But when I try to open it, it says "Unable to open the video file: Imicmp.avi" I tried running it in Windows XP Service pack 2, like I usually do when I have problems, but this time it didn't work. I tried setting it to earlier versions of windows all the way to Windows 95. Running it as administrator didn't work either. I have never had this kind of problem before for the 6-7 years I've had the game. What can I do? I am currently running Windows 7 and have the 1999 version of the game (I only know that because the 2001 cheat engine table doesn't work with it).

This isn't a true "fix" for the problem, but try adding -novideo to the end of a shortcut to the game's exe, like this:

It should bypass attempting to play that file entirely.

 

(Side note: For anybody who might be curious, the desktop background is this, there's more here)
