Myst 3 under XP
This is a discussion about Myst 3 under XP in the Windows Games category; Excuse the newbie question, but I have a friend who's trying to get Myst 3 running under XP. Not running XP myself, I have limited knowledge on the matter. Has anyone managed to do this so far, and what's my best advice to her? Thanks all.

Golly, I've not had to do anything at all to get Myst III: Exile to run under two very different machines running Windows XP. Didn't need compatibility mode or anything like that. How is it failing for her? Were there any problems getting it installed? (Heavens! I hope she didn't let it install it's own version of DirectX 8! It works fine if you just skip the DirectX installation.) Does it not start up at all, or does it start up and freeze at some point, or does it start up and crash or quit? What video subsystem is running on her PC? Did she get the latest patch from UBISoft?

what video card is it?.
OP
Well, I'm not sure whether it was Direct X, whether it was a patch or what, but it's working for her now. Thanks anyway guys.
uhmmm *newbie* here too
I just tryed to install Myst3 with XP and it wont work for me either. The unstall seems to go fine, but when I try to start it up, it just says it has encounterd a problem and has to close... Im not aware of what vid card I use, and Ive installed with, and without direct X... And help would be apreciated

GEE DID YOU HAPPEN TO SEE MY POST? I HAD IT INSTALLED, PLAYED IT THRU AT LEAST 3 WORLDS AND SUDDENLY IT ACTS AS IF IT CAN'T FIND IT AND SO THEREFORE I UNLOADED IT TO RELOAD AND I CANT GET XP TO RECOGNIZE ITS OWN DRIVE WHEN DISC ONE IS IN THERE.
