Probably way too easy for it to work but have you tried running the game using the compatibility option in XP? http://www.abandonia.com/vbullet/showthread.php?t=17501 |

| The Fifth Horseman | TBH, I haven't installed VM additions since a W98SE virtual machine went monochrome after their installation. | |

The VM additions for W95 in the latest VPC2007 releases seems to be a bit ....bugged. You really get the best results with VPC2007/W98SE. |

Having the same freezing issue Just got this game in a bundle on ebay and it is doing the exact same thing the topic starter describes. Did a full installation using Windows XP, got as far as the main screen, could play the credits and open the options window, but as soon as I clicked "start new game" it froze and I had to to an Alt-tab to get back to Windows to shut it down. Couldn't get my old Windows 98 partition to work, so couldn't try it there. Checked the Adventure Co. website for any patches or other solution and found none. This game isn't even listed in their directory of PC Games anymore. Any recommendations to make this fossil of a game work? It is supposed to run on XP according to the game specs on the disk. |

| rabadi | No, I did not apply SP2. For that matter, I do not think I applied SP1 either. It was the OEM version (Windoze XP Home, not Professional). I played it on a laptop (it is no longer my current laptop so again I am afraid I cannot check). | |

| _r.u.s.s. | and if you run dxdiag before the actual game, does ddraw crash? (test button) | |

| rabadi | I have that game, but only played it once, back in 2003 if I'm not mistaken. I played it on Windoze XP, and do not recall any problems playing it. I am afraid I have misplaced the CD though. | |
