I'm just responding to let you know people are reading your post. Unfortunately, I don't have any information pro or con about your question.
What specifically bothers you about downloading from Gamespot? Have you read their privacy statement, and/or end user agreement? A lot of time reading these help determine whether or not you're comfortable downloading from a site. In this case, Gamespot.
If something gets your goat, it just proves you have a goat to get.

Myst: Masterpiece Edition is only $5.99 at GOG, Patsy. And there's no DRM so you can burn it to disk if you want to.

Hi Patsy -- did you mean Gamespot or Gamestop? I've also had a good experience with GOG and would recommend them. I recently bought the Cyan package from Steam and have been playing Myst Masterpiece Edition on my Win 7 64-bit computer in Compatibility Mode. The game plays okay -- the "flyover" videos while linking are apparently disabled, though, and it does crash every time I exit the game. You may not experience these problems on your laptop, but I thought I'd give a word of warning.

If you're having trouble running Real Myst on XP, sarahandus, have you checked the forums? Click on the game on your shelf and then on Game Info. Then click on Forums (not Support) and go down the list of topics to see if anyone else has had your problem. A lot of times someone has come up with a solution which will be highlighted in green. Looks green to me, anyway.

Try posting in Glitches then, sarahandus. See if the experts can help.
