Perhaps it's your graphics card.

It's a new computer or a new-new computer? In the latter case, have you installed DirectX and have you installed the proper drivers for your graphics card?
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

It's a very new computer... I had the editor in one of my older computers. and it's working. but then it had this problem, so I tried on my newest computer (this) but it's still not working! it has DirectX too!

open the rtwp. you'll see a loader with play, level editor, level exchange.
set the editor to 16 bit when you use the RTW loader and then click it

Maybe the resolution is too big for that computer.
Try 800x600 or 640x480.

If it's fullscreen, try setting it to windowed and see if it helps.

Sounds like that incident where I couldn't play any levels with Chompers for a while.
i should change my signature to be rude to people who hate pictures of valves

Sometimes old games like RTW don't work well with newer graphics cards.

I've used the editor to figure out why it's MAVing.
I found things that are really interesting...
Ice
reflectors
Wood box
Sticky cube
Crystal
Push cannons
GREEN/BLU/YELLOW link spheres.
boulder
when they get destroyed.
It MAVs. (when throwing one these to the lava)
ice is the only one that MAVs in water.
the shadow stinkers cause MAV too.
Coilies cause mav.
Chompers cause MAV.
The rest is active.
Anyone knows why now?
