Can't talk to characters, single player

[ElGringo]

When I approach Yamata San and Santa the bird at the very beginning, I'm prompted to talk which I assume means using the action key (enter or whatever I remapped it to, which is E) but nothing happens.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Do you have any mods installed? I know the LivesForever mod can cause problems with the single player game.

This is a common error on BAD pirated versions of NOLF2
Install the Official Windows system ... or, at least, a clean Windows image [MSDN]
+ Install the Official version of NOLF2 ... or, at least image NOLF2 from the official version, download from here
