Only download a tool called mouse emulator. In the game menu when you choose the option click with the mouse and the keyboard than, with mouse emulator is the numberpad the "1" key; and you can select any option.
 
I try this method and is successfull
 
four years later but now is possible play heist in a actual computer, thansk to me .
 
I play under winxp, pentium IV, 1 GB RAM and 128 MB video.

Hi there,
 
I just installed heist on my win8 computer in win98 compatibility mode. It works more or less, but in the menu or when a dialog-boy pops up in the game, the game is stuttering. Then not only the mouse runs unsmooth, but especially the left click doesn't work in 80% of my clicks... The mouse emulator didn't solve the problem.
 
I think I could run the game on xp (without service pack) with a ps2-mouse. But xp compatibility doesn't work either.
 
And mecm, could you upload the save games again?
 
Thank you very much!

Here are the savegames of heist. I can pass the Level04 - Warehouse Bumrush, but the next level Gangster's Paradise the application is closed when all gangs killed.
 
I never know how to Heist both gang headquarters, in level 05 I can get 3 snipers and 1 rocket launcher but, like I don't know how to heist the chup's and blade's headquarters the application is closed by an unknown error.

thank you for the savegame!
Unfortunately I am still not able to play heist in Win8 without massive mouse control problems. How do you play?

I play in a acer aspire one (with a intel atom processor), but in level 04 is impossible still playing to finish the mission, the game crashes and close when I try that level.
