Do you have Windows Media Player 7.1? If not, have you tried downloading the codecs for Windows Media 7.1? Dreamcatcher has a link on their support page. http://www.adventurecompanygames.com/tac/support/nautilus.html It's normal for a CD to heat up when a game accesses it a lot, though I don't think I've ever had a CD get "extremely warm to the touch" simply by playing a game introduction. But maybe your drive is faster than mine.

I did get into DXDIAG & it shows 9.0 as being the current version. For what it is worth, here is info it gave me ..... DirectX Files Tab: No problems found. Display Tab 1: The file nv4_disp.dll is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer. Sound Tab 1: No problems found. Music Tab: No problems found. Input Tab: No problems found. Network Tab: No problems found. DirectPlay test results: All tests were successful. If you have any thoughts, please let me know, although I'm beginning to think no game is worth this kind of headache. Thanks again!

Well I just finished the game with no problems until the very last cut scene when the damned game kept freezing at exactly the same point each time. In the end I watched the last scene in Windows Media Player. I would have enjoyed the game if it wasn't so dark in places as well.I was constantly peering in the real dark sections of the sub in case I missed something.Too much like watching X files for me.

Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem yet? I have tried everything suggested and am using all the up-to-the-minute drivers. Seems to be a problem with Nautilus and XP. The game lists XP under the system requirements. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> Rusty

Hi scotland, I tried everything to get this one to run on XP. In the end, it went back to the store. Nothing worked. Seems that some people can run it okay on XP. However, the people that have trouble (alot by the way) with it cannot get it to run no matter what. Just check out the Technical forum over at The Adventure Company. Bottom line, there is no remedy for this problem as no one knows what the problem is. Rusty

I think you are right Jenny100 but, a fix for this problem is obviously not high on the priority list of either Microsoft or The Adventure Company. Too bad... Rusty
