been playing this game for a few days, in story 2 went in to the orphanage and saved there .but now I can't get back in to the game > what do i have to do to get back in to the game ? i know that the disk has to be in.

Not sure what you mean - are you getting an error message when you try to get back into the game? What happens?

nothing comes up .but some how after a hour of messing around i got i to start.yeah it came up at the start but that was it just the very start of it and that was it ???odd huh.

I'm not sure what problem you are having deleterman but when I played this game a few years back, I could not make any saves. I had to play the game straight through from start to finish.

Does the game have an autosave?
If it does, and your latest save is corrupt, that could keep the game from starting properly.

no autosave just click on ESC and main menu comes up with save game to click on.i think i clicked on reload game and that did it.odd i don't know.

Is it behaving now?

no not at all.will try messing with it later.I don't remember problems at all with any of the delaware games.

I don't remember problems either, but it's been years since I played the games, and I played them on an older computer. The newest OS it would have had would have been XP SP1.

yes same here the last time i played it was on a older computer.

Antivirus can interfere with old games. You can try putting the game exe in the antivirus' "exceptions" list.

If you haven't been Running the game as Administrator, you should do that. This is different from being logged in as the Administrator. You have to right-click the game shortcut on the desktop (or the exe in the game folder) and choose Run As Administrator. I've had games that would not save at all unless I ran them "As Administrator" -- even a couple of hidden object games from Big Fish that other people apparently didn't have problems with.

If the game will not start any more, even after trying compatibility modes, running as Administrator, and adding its executable to your antivirus' exclusion list, it may have somehow damaged its files, and you may have to uninstall and reinstall to get it working.

Be sure to install to some place other than C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86). For example, you could install to your Documents folder, or some other folder that Windows doesn't consider "protected" -- for example you could create a C:\Games folder.

If you have problems installing, change the Setup file on the game disc to use compatibility mode before trying to install.

If it won't reinstall because the previous installation didn't uninstall properly, use ccleaner or Revo Uninstaller to clear out the remnants of the previous installation before attempting to reinstall again.

It's possible you'll have to run the game as Administrator too. In Windows 7 you right-click either the game shortcut on the desktop or the exe in the game folder, then choose Run As Administrator.

It's worth trying different compatibility modes set to different versions of Windows -- not just Windows 95 or 98/ME. I've had games for Windows 95 run better using Compatibility mode set to Windows 2000. Still Life required compatibility mode set to Windows NT -- if you set it to Windows 95 or 98/ME compatibility, it would start OK but would crash as soon as you tried to enter the building in the beginning of the game.

thanks very good info.

I hope some of it helps.
