Hi CountZero -- you can click on the "contact us" link near the bottom of the page and the developer will get back to you.

I'm also sending this over to the Glitches forum, in case someone there already has experience with the issue. wave

Check out this thread from just a week ago or so, CountZero.

The sound issues are due to some on line stores not having updated their versions of the 3 first Carol Reed games since Window 7 came out. I've done what I can to make them upload the latest versions.

The issue also appears in disc versions sold before Win 7 came out.

The patches on the site is for Vista only. The Win 7 problem can not be solved with a patch, but needs full new versions of the games.

If you encounter this problem, contact me, and we'll fix you up with a working version of the game of games in question.

That's right. I helped Mikael test his new versions of the first three games on Windows 7 a couple of years ago. His updates worked perfectly on Windows 7 including the sound.

Thanks Mikael, I really appreciate you taking the time to address this issue and thanks for fixing this problem for me...

I purchased this game and tried to download it several times and kept getting an error message about MSDX software. I've contacted the site from where I purchased it, sent me to another site no luck. I emailed the makers of the game, the email was returned. Any suggestions? Thank you!

@ GrandmaG

Did you download Hope Springs Eternal from The Adventure Shop?

Sorry to hear about your troubles with this game, which email did you use?

If you look at this picture, you can see there's a contact us option in the lower right hand corner. I just clicked the contact us link and it took me to send an email to Mikael from MDNA games. And Mikael who is also posting in this thead is a game developer that looks after his customers...which, I think, is great smile


Adventure gaming is fun smile

Yes, I did purchase the game from the Adventure Shop. I sent an email to Mikael with all the details and the error message and it came back undelivered.

GrandmaG,
Choose one of the email links on the MDNA website that are for one of the newer games. I've noticed that the email links for some of the older games, like Hope Springs Eternal, are different from those for newer games, like ***Amber's Blood*** or ***Blue Madonna***.

Make sure a response wasn't caught in your spam filter. I'll try emailing for you. Usually he responds very quickly but he may be on vacation or something.

Hi GrandmaG!

I sent you an email on March 15 with a link to an updated version. Since then, I've been getting several messages that your address can't receive my email. There must be something quirky with your email server. You also say that your first email was returned, which implies the same thing.

I've sent my email to you as a PM now instead (It hasn't been possible until now since I couldn't connect your email with your profile here.)
