this is runing on Win 7. When I get to the part where the creature comes out of the jukebox, the game crashes. Has this happened before?

Are you playing the cd version or one from Steam? Per the post here on Win 7 games it should work... a techie will come along soon... Ps.... It also has controls perhaps you could turn them down at least for this part and see if it will let you get by.

- High Quality April Model. This box is checked by default. If you have a slow
computer or video card, or the game seems to be running slowly, try deselecting this
option. The April character will look less detailed, but the game may run faster.


- Special Effects. This turns on and off the particle effects in the game. If you have a
slow computer, and the game is choppy, uncheck this box.
- Shadows. When checked, all characters cast shadows. If the game is running slowly,
try deselecting this option.

- High Quality Video. Depending on the speed of your computer and CD-ROM,
you may choose to enable or disable high quality video. In order to run the video
sequences in high quality, you will need a PentiumĂ’ II 266 or better. If your system
does not meet this requirement, please keep this check box clear, or the video sequences
will appear choppy.

As Winfrey mentioned, much depends on whether you are using the CD or DVD version or a GOG or Steam version. There is a patch which may correct your issue and a link to the a 1.61 patch plus a discussion of settings can be found at

I could not get The Longest Journey from GOG to work on my Windows 7 computer at all so you got farther than me.

I had problems with the game crashing with my GOG version of the game on Windows 7. Last time I looked at the download page on GOG, it did not list Windows 7 as one of the supported operating systems, but I didn't notice that until after I had purchased the game. I then used my original CDs instead, and I had no problems with the game at all. I was told by a GOG forum poster that the version of The Longest Journey that GOG is using is something that doesn't work as well with Windows 7 for some reason.

Version 1.0.0.9 of TLJ works in Windows 7.
Apparently there are issues with later versions.
There was a discussion of this at GOG.
