![]() ![]() Everything worked fine, until I tried to run the game. I then installed the game, with the first disc in my DVD-ROM drive and the second being read off my hard drive using DAEMON tools 3.47 and emulation enabled. I used CloneCD to make an ISO image of the second DVD, which the game actually looks for to run. Back to the drawing board for mine.I just bought Myst IV: Revelation, which comes on two DVDs. Very inconvenient to use someone else's puter. It doesn't do me any good on his computer b/c we do our own things all day long. He has a diff video card, but it's high end like mine. ![]() I am testing the game out on my husband's computer! If it works there, I don't know it that means video card or the DVD burners. **UPDATE**.sometimes I don't think when I get involved in trying to troubleshoot something. In the meantime, I am playing URU: Ages Beyond Myst.which works great in Win 7 w/o using Compatibility. It did occur to me and if that's the case (I think I do have different DVD drives than i did when playing the games on my XP), then, of course, nothing I can do about that. Kaki, I also read that in the booklet for the game. Maybe some here knows how to get around it. I had some notes from a post back in 2004 on gameboomers that said "this game contains technology intended to prevent copying that may conflict with some DVD-RW and virtual drives." ![]() Thanks so much for such fantastic suppport as usual from Gameboomers' members!Ĭissy I seem to remember reading something about "copy protection" interfering with this game. In the meantime, I will continue exploring avenues and play URU once again. I won't post anymore unless I have good news about Myst IV or someone offers another solution for me to try. The good news is, URU End of Ages works perfectly w/o using any compatibility changes. **latest update**.tried again, failed again, no matter what I do. I even closed down ones in taskbar to be sure.including Windows Defender, Firewall, etc. I will triple check about programs running in background that may interfere. I still have some hair and graycells left that are working on a solution.I hope Now, when my machine messes up.then Safe Mode will come up when you don't want it to! LOL. They say to press a certain key, but it never gets there. You know this safe mode stuff doesn't always work. As much as I enjoy troubleshooting my computer, this is exasperating me! LOL. I want to thank all those who offered help, but now that I have pulled all my hair out, I need to cool it for awhile and think about what this could be. Of course I am not replacing my video card for these two games I have played in the past. So, I KNOW it's got to be in my video card for these two particular games. I so looked forward to playing both of them again. Even Blackstone Chronicles.another oldie played perfectly on my Win 7 32-bit. I get an "access error" when trying to "PLAY". And, Myst V: End of Ages won't play at all. However, I will put the game back on and intall as you suggest. I am worked this thing so many ways, I am not sure! LOL. I haven't tried installing it that way.at least I don't think so. I always do that when uninstalling something I can only do this so much, then I give up Thanks, everyone, but it seems to be a lost cause. Going over to XP to install just for the hell of it. I click to open the door, game drops to desktop. I bring it up, we continue to the front door of Atrus and Catherine's house. When I click the anywhere, it drops to desktop. I bring it up and it continues until I try to use the camera when Yeesha stops so I can take a picture. For example, after the opening where Atrus speaks about his sons, I click New Game. I have tried everything 6 ways to Sunday (for you younger folk that expression means a LOT LOL) Still same problem. I'll get back to you and Dadguy as well later when I get a chance to test this out. So, I will reinstall the game, open from Programs rather than the desktop. Yes, definately tried the Compatibility mode which suggests XP sp 2 or XP sp 3. Any program running in the background can cause it to drop to the desktop. Make sure you close all Defender and antispy ware programs before you play. Opening the game from the "program files" might. Cissy have you tried playing in compatibility mode? Sometimes that's all it takes for me to get a game to play.Īlso I have found that sometimes when you try and open the game from the icon on the desktop it doesn't always work. ![]()
