success!

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game in a newly created TLJ folder this time and installed the patch in same folder (3D acceleration disable beforehand per your recommendation) . I also set compatibility to NT 4.0 like you suggested and everything now runs smoothly.

It'll be a real treat to replay this game and Dreamfall again. I had forgotten how incredible the quality of the game was! By the way, do you know if they ever developed anything else to follow Dreamfall (the downloadable episodes)?

Thanks again for your input!

So happy to hear it worked for you! Enjoy the game! I agree, I think it is an outstanding game, one of the best I've played. thumbsup

Unfortunately, I haven't heard any news about Dreamfall Chapters. Currently, the creator is working on an RPG called The Secret World. Once he finishes this, hopefully he will begin working on the chapters again. It will probably be quite a while, though.

So far The Whispered World is running just fine in Win 7, 64 bit (I'm running the downloaded version). I'll add it to my list, along with Hamlet and Sam & Max The Devil's Playhouse.

You're welcome, ikonius. So glad everything is working for you now! thumbsup

Glad to hear about The Whispered World, Becky. Can't wait for that one. I'm pre-ordering the disk version. smile

I bought an Laptop with WIN 7 Home Pre, and I can't tell the difference between it and my last Lap with WIN VISTA, I can play the old two version of FAR CRY! the only problem I have is the Webcam and internet video flickers! I tried everything, might have to send it back to the factory!

P.S kind of wish I bought an desktop com, at least I can play games on my XBOX 360, but I havn't send many adventure games for the XBOX!

Hi All,
To all the Divine Divinity Fans, I may have missed it, if anyone else has tried Divine Divinity on Windows 7, 64 bit, but it's playing great, no tweaking at all. Played the catacombs yesterday and now on my way to Rivertown.
It's an older game but one of my favorites.

No, you didn't miss it, Kayc! I just haven't added it to the list yet. I downloaded the GOG versions about a week ago and both played perfectly for me also in my 64-bit Win 7. I will be updating the thread later tonight. Do you have the GOG version or the CD version?

Hi Draclvr, I have the CD version. I was so happy that it installed and played with no tweaking.
Next, I will try the old Might and Magic games. I don't think they will play though.
Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks, Kayc... I'll add it to the first post. Let us know about the Might and Magic games - you never know!

I've been playing Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive, downloaded from Good Old Games, on Win 7 64 bit. It's playing just fine, except that the audio in the opening video sequence stuttered a bit the first time. After playing into the game, I replayed the opening video, the audio was fine the second time, with no stuttering. Strange, but there it is!

I've also been playing Riven, downloaded from Good Old Games. This plays well except that the "Ctrl/S" command for saving the game doesn't seem to work. Instead, I've been using "Alt/S" to bring up the menu and saving that way.

I'll update my list on Page 13 of this thread.

Oh, and I had problems with Azada downloaded from Big Fish on my system -- the first Big Fish game with a problem. It played veeeery slowly and the cursor seemed to be hampered by some sort of dead weight.

Just finished playing Rhiannon on win 7 64 bit. plays perfectly. I guess no one has the answer to the question I posted earlier about TLJ with 4 cd's? Judy

I hoped someone would respond, judith, but I guess not. I HAD the 4 CD version and was going to give it a spin, but found that the first CD was cracked.

Hi Draclvr; I only had one game that broke on me. The way I acted, you'd think I lost a little puppy. LOL. Oh well, I'll give it a whirl in the next week or so, too many other things going on right now. Getting ready to go to B.C. in a couple of weeks for my granddaughters graduation.

Well, I tried Safecracker 2006 & it was a no go for me. Tried playing compatability xp3 & xp2. I even tried to install it in xp2. The problem was the video was all jumpy & wavy. Maybe someone else will have better luck. Judy

Well, this was a nice surprise. Schizm (the 5 cd version) works perfect on win 7 64bit. I'm half way through replaying it, & not a glitch. Judy

I've played Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage on Win 7 64 bit -- no problem after installing the NVIDIA PhysX drivers from the NVIDIA website.

I noticed a thread over in the ***GOG forum*** listing which of their games are currently working in Windows 7. They aren't specifically adventure games.

I'm off to check that out, Jenny. I thought for sure Real Myst would work, but it didn't... Thanks.

If you play Total Annihilation with Win7 you will probably get the 'inverted colors syndrome'
The fix is quite easy.
1st.
Make a completely black desktop .jpg (wallpaper)with MS Paint.
2nd.
Add it to your desktop background slideshow.
3rd.
Before playing, uncheck all slideshow pics except the black one
4th
Go kill with your k-bots and tanks.
5th.
After game re-enable your slideshow pics

Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone installs and runs without a hitch on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

I think it was released around 2001.

Edit: I've finished the game completely. No issues whatsoever.
