I'll try it out later on this afternoon, & I sure will let you know. Hope it works, I love this game. Thanks Judy

I did a search for Pandora's Box in glitches but didn't find anything so here I am. I am running Win 7 64 bit and it won't install. The only patch is for people with Pentium 3 processors and I don't think this applies to me. I checked the Microsoft site and there's nothing there either. Anyone got it to run on this OS? Let me know what I need to do if you did. Thanks!

Debra, have you tired to do the actual installation in XP mode? I've had success with several games which refused to install normally, but worked just fine when I used the Troubleshoot Compatibility option.

hi all; regarding my Black Dahlia win 7 64 bit install, I used the no CD patch then installed the v1.10 patch, then went into the game folder. There are three files, the BD game icon, the BDdv patch & BD patch Videos. I went into compatibility mode on all three & under settings I ticked "run in 256 color" & run in "640 x 480". Now the game plays perfectly. Judy

I'm glad to hear that you got it working, judith! Black Dahlia was one of my favorites, although very difficult puzzles. Are you finding all the patches you used online?

I haven't had any luck at all with the older games I'm trying to get going:RealMyst, Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, Morpheus. Actually, I think they're all 32-bit games and won't even start installing: I get a message that I need a 64-bit version of the game--like that's ever going to happen!
Or maybe I just don't know how to "tweak" the settings correctly.

Mary, I've gotten that same message for several games I've tried to install. When that happens, try installing in XP compatibility mode.

Right click on the CD/DVD drive that indicates the game CD is in the drive. Select Open. Find the setup file and right click on it. Select Troubleshoot Compatibility. From there follow the prompts. I even got Dracula Resurrection to install and play that way. That one wouldn't even play on my old XP drive!

I will give that a try Drac and let you know how it works.

I tried and it still gives me compatibility issues. I may try and put the Pentium 3 patch on just to see what happens.

OK I got it to work by going into the properties and setting it to WinXP, run as administrator and dowloading the Patch 1.0 that fixes Pentium 3 problems. Hope that helps others and thanks for the help and suggestions. I appreciate it.

Excellent, Debra. Another one to add to the list. One of these days I'll alphabetize it!

I agree with you Cissy. I played it years ago and really enjoyed it. By the way, what version do you have?

Thanks,
FJT

Yoomurjak's Ring runs on Win 7!

Sweet!

Sherlock Holmes the Awakened runs perfectly with the vista patch on win 7 64 bit. Judy

hi all,

I just wanted to let you know that I've started pulling out my older games too. So far, Darkness Within in pursuit of Loath Nolder ran perfectly all the way through BUT Egypt II Heliopolis wouldn't even install, even after trying all modes in compatibility.
