Is your game from the original CDs or a download, if from the CDs, there is a patch for this game that might work for you.
Good luck

Googling this problem, I discovered that other people had this happen to them as well. Aside from making sure you have the patch (if using the CD version), I found this:



Strange, but maybe it would work for you.

marian,i did all the above,but it does not help,i also used the
patch,also no luck,but now i remind myself,why last time it worked,because MaG was still here,and she sent me a save file
now dear marian,i am allmost sure,when mag left us,but her computer,with all the save files,she left them here,so why is it
so hard for you,to take out a save game file,she marked evry
save file in witch game and place,it belongs,and if for any reason,you canot do it,there is still another option,please
contact mag,she will help us all out for sure,i also found
another person with the same problem,he says,that he went to the
publisher,in this case it is,(city interactive),he says,that he
found there a special patch from the game company itself,and this worked for him,so marian please dont forget to contact mag

dear marian,i am now the lucky person,i start the game again
with 1 little different way,usualy the game freezes,only after
4 clicks,before each click,you must insert 2 euroes,but i wanted to reduce the start play clicks,so i inserted 4 euroes,instead
of 1,and believe it or not luck was with me,at the 1st click,i
won a whole bunch of money,so i have now a save game file,for
after the slot machine,if you need it,i can give it to you
samuel

Glad you were able to get past it, samuel.

I have many saves that MaG gave me for Hunt for the Puppeteer but none of them are labeled, so in order to help anyone I would have to send 25+ saved games, unfortunately, and that would involve time spent that I don't always have.

By all means hang on to that save - after all, you might replay the game in the future.
