This problem has been discussed by at least two other forum members here - apparently the remastered version of Grim Fandango does not run on Windows XP. Write to GOG Customer Support and explain your situation, and I feel confident that they will give you a refund.

samuel, it clearly states on GOG that the game does not work on XP - it states you need Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. As Marian says, I'm sure they will give you a refund or a credit. This is a copy/paste from the GOG website.

can someone tel me if the older grim fandango game,can work
on win-xp,i am sure there is,but please dont give me a hard time,a good easy way
i thank in advance

There is this installer, which is probably the easiest.

Or you can play it using ResidualVM by copying the game files on the CD's to your hard drive and pointing Residual at them.

And there is Grim Mouse, a point-and-click-controlled version based on ResidualVM. However it is still a work in progress, and they warn you about bugs.

I believe the links in the Windows 7 and Games and Windows 8 and games for Grim Fandango installers still work. These are the installers from Squirt the Cat and I used them to get Grim to run on XP, Windows 7 and even on Windows 8.
