twg: can you start and play the videos normally under Windows by double clicking them?
I mean, in Windows Explorer go to the install path (for instance C:\Program Files\Divinity II - Ego Draconis). The go inside the folder Data and then inside the folder Video, and then inside the folder Skills. Can you start and watch those WMV files that are in there?
Do you have some video decoders installed where you can add divinity2.exe to the exclusion list?
The videos are "just" WMV files. If you have the latest version of Windows Media Player installed normally, they run. You don't need anything special to be able to play them, but there might be a video or audio codec interfering with that playback.
I'm sorry for not having answered before, but as far as I have seen, this is a very unique case.
