I can't get Time Stand Still to run on my Windows 7 64 bit computer. I keep getting Windows Media Player error messages and no sound. There's a patch for Vista on the web site, but it won't install, a message says it stopped prematurely because of an error. The Windows 7 Games thread talks about code being re-written for Windows 7, but I have the original disk version that came out before Windows 7 or even Vista existed. I tried one of the earlier Carol Reed games that came out before Time Stand Still, also an original disk version, and it does the same thing. I tried East Side Story, the next in the series after Time Stand Still, and it appears to be working normally. Is there a fix for these earlier games, or am I stuck with having to replace the disks with new ones written for Windows 7?

Makes sure you didn't install to C:\Program Files
You want to install to your (My) Documents folder or some other place that Windows doesn't consider a "protected" area.

Use Compatibility Mode -- right-click the game .exe or shortcut --> Properties --> Compatibility Tab --> Set to Windows 2000 or XP and disable visual themes and advanced text services if you see them. Save changes.

If it still won't work, email the developers at the "Contact Us" link on their webpage.
