I am trying to play the game Sherlock Holmes Mystery of the mummy. I
purchased this game from big fish in July of 2007 I played it a couple
of times but have a new windows 10 computer and have not downloaded the
game in several years. I recently downloaded it from big fish but when I
load it I get 2 error messages the first is 0x0044CC86 the second is
(0x00000048) I hope there is a patch to correct this. I hope you can
help. Thanks Joe.

I know this game is also on Steam, and there are plenty of people complaining there that the game doesn't always seem to play nice with Windows 7 and up.

I am not at all sure that the game is compatible with Windows 10, but maybe someone else will have personal experience to draw upon.

I did find this post on Steam, where someone with Windows 10 got the game working:

Quote:
The following worked for me on Win10 x64:

1. Download and intall the game
2. go to the steam/mystery of the mummy installation folder and look for the folder DXWind-v2_03_36_build
3. open dxwnd, the game will show, right click and "modify"
4. look in both 'path' and 'launch' for the game.exe and select it for each option
5. then use what puhgee has advised earlier:
in dxwnd go to "input" section and check following: "keep cursor fixed" , "keep cursor within window", "force cursor clipping", "DirectInput Hooking with Initial coords 50,50"
6. As puhgee stated this will cause your mouse to be inverted, but game runs fine, if you want to fix this issue download Mouse Inverter: https://www.sendspace.com/file/zjuwfv (honestly it's a bit more glitchy this way than without the mouse inverter but it will still work)
7. if you wish, in the 'main' option of dxwnd uncheck the box for "run in window" and for me it worked fullscreen this way...


It sounds like the poster above was not confronted with the same problem that you are having, though. My advice, at least for the Big Fish version, is to write to them and see if you can get a replacement code for a different game.
