When I open the crate in Act 1. The program freezes.
I well surpass the minimum requirements for the
game. It installs fine on Win98SE.

Just this DAMNABLE feezing problem.

can anyone help?

what the hell is DAMNABLE?

anyway, make sure you have the latest video drivers for your card, and install the new directX8.

if you still have problems, completely uninstall and update your mouse drivers. That might help. Then reinstall and say the word's "Trout Is God" 4 times while hopping on one leg.

Marby has anyone (perhaps Halibut??) ever told you you have a really really weird sense of humour?
