if you start the patch (the jar-file) the programm asks you to browse the holiday-island-folder. You have choose the holiday.exe - now - the programm knows also the folder.

i should explain how you have to use the program:

1. unzip the 3 files
2. start holidayislandfix.jar
3. browse the holiday-island-directory (concretely browse the holiday.exe)
4. browse any soundfile for the change - the program delivers one - you can use it - it is very small
5. press the butten "replace 0byte wav files" to patch the mci-problem
6. press the button "fix graphic..." to patch the 8-letters-problem

once more the link to the patch:

Just replace the old one with this and you're ready to go.

I have just noticed that .DAT files are not allowed as attachments, so I've uploaded it as a .TXT file, you will need to open it in a text, editor save it as "all files" with "FILENAME.DAT" as the filename.

You problably don't read this forum anymore but I just have to say thank you! I have the original game on cd (my first pcgame btw haha) But since I got my self a new computer about a year ago it hasn't work and I'm blonde when it comes to fixing problem with games. But you saved my childhoods best game! =)
So happy happy happy happy happy =) =) =) =) =) =)

So i lost the cd in 2000 and ever since i missed this game until june 2005, i got it from much of the sites similar to this one like abandongames etc etc. But here we are that same news error that wouldnt let neither me nor you people play with your heart without any sort of interruption.

Its really working no problems, all buildings are comin in and auctions working great too. The surf competition also working great without news coming again and again like its being stuck. so its completely fixed. Anybody wants it i can help.
