Hello,
I installed Adventure Collection, Volume 1, choosing to try Dead Reefs to install first. The installation appeared to be fine. I removed the disc and restarted. I clicked on the icon for Dead Reefs and it appeared to begin to open. Then I got a white screen and nothing else. No cusor. So, I had to force quit. Restarted. Same thing happened again.
Question...does the disc have to be in the computer even though there are four other games to choose from and only one was installed?
Or, did the installation fail?
I went to add/remove programs to uninstall and start over but the computer will not do the uninstall.
I am using a Panasonic laptop, Windows XP
Thanks for your thoughts!

Does your laptop meet the minimum requirements for a video card for this game?

Operating System: Windows® 2000/XP/Vista™
AMD® 1800+ (1.5 Ghz) or Intel® 1.8 Ghz
512 MB RAM, 4x (or PC DVD-ROM Drive)
nVidia® GeForce® 5200fx or ATI® Radeon® 9200 Video card
16-Bit Sound Card
DirectX® 9.0c
860 MB Hard Disk Space

Thank you. I will check all of that out!

If I can remember right there is a problem in the beginning with Dead Reefs. You have to hit the space bar a couple of times. It will skip the cut scenes at the start of the game and the game should be fine.

Also install all the games on the disk at once instead of individual games later.

Now that you mention it, I'm remembering that too.
The problem with the cut scenes not playing happened even with video cards that supposedly met the specs.
