Playing Sanitarium and all of the sudden it froze, screen went black, hit escape and the hand appeared but background still black. Finally hit ctrl, alt, delete and clicked on task manager then when I clicked on game icon at the bottom I got this message "unable to restore display mode to 640x480x8, [FAC=NULL ERR=16385] The game will be terminated. Why did this happen, anyone know? I was just going into the mansion and had just finished the cave. Oh just noticed in upper left corner "Game is paused" X'd out and got runtime error! Is this my fault or game or computer error? Sounds a bit like I did something since the game was paused but I did nothing to instigate this.

Oh swell. Wish I had known this, might not have purchased it. As always, thanks InlandAZ.

This is one of those few games where the bugs are worth the aggravation, Terri!

I think I get so easily aggravated because I haven't a clue what I'm doing and don't know if it's me or the game. I got through the Mansion and while in the house I felt very sad. This is really a strange game!

Hi. Yes I purchased the game on GOG. I need to remember to save often just in case I have a problem. Thanks.

There was an update for Sanitarium that might correct these problems. Not sure where I found it but you could try http://www.patches-scrolls.de/or this site.
