I was having a problem with some of my older ND games on my W7 powered laptop (all of the ones that require a disc to play except 1 (original), 12 & 13. Some wouldn't pull up the menu, others starts with the manilla colored background, though the magnifying glass is about half the size it should be and it just freezes as such

So I uninstalled all ND games and have thus began reinstalling. so far, 14 & 15 are the only ones still doing it.

For anyone else reading this, #14 is Danger by Design and #15 is Creature of Kapu Cave.

HerInteractive has special instructions for installing these games on Vista and Windows 7:

***Windows Vista / Windows 7 Installation for older Nancy Drew games***

Have you tried these instructions?

Thanks for the link Jenny. I hadn't seen that, but I'm trying it now. I had thought I was gonna have to install Vista on a partition, but I'll definitely try this first. I'll letcha know how I make out
