Can run Myst under
Windows NT 4.0 (sp3 and later). - Make sure to install the *16 bit*
version. To do this, don't click on the setup.exe icon on the CD or
allow autoplay to run. Go to the setup16 folder on the CD and launch the
file ls_setup16.exe. Follow normal installation procedures. - When the
installer asks you, allow it to install its 16-bit version of Quicktime.
Even if you have a 32-bit version already on your machine, they're
stored in different places and won't interfere with each other. - In the
Display control panel's Settings tab, set your display's color palette
to 256 colors. 16-bit Myst won't run if it's any higher. While you're
there, you may also want to change the display to 640x480, but it's not
necessary for the program to work. - Run and play the game normally. You
should note, however, that any saved games from the 32-bit version will
cause the 16-bit version to crash -- maybe not immediately, but sometime
later in the game and possibly at the most inconvenient time.
