Adventuress, If you are seeing the game.exe file, reboot your computer to be sure it is still there. Did you move the file out of the virus vault? When I was dealing with this, I checked and the exe file was there, but upon rebooting it wasn't. I just copied that file to the correct bin file and now the game runs just fine for me

Adventuress, I have 11 files in my bin. We are having connection issues--I'll list them when I get back on

Hi all I am trying to paste a screen shot of my bin folder off the DVD to see if it is the same as everyone else's. How do I paste the screenshot in here? The Gameboomers forum doesn't have that capability. But you can upload the screenshot to some place like photobucket.com and then give the URL to the screenshot in a forum post.

ok so i read this entire post and i'm still having problems. I get the error: installation ended prematurely because of error. I have windows vista basic 32. I tried all the suggestions I could, I don't have AVG. I made sure I put the setup on the list of exceptions on the windows firewall and nothing. I also changed the compatibility mode and still nothing. Is this game a complete lost cause for vista users?? Oh nevermind I fixed it! if anyone else is still having problems installing you just have to register the VBScript.DLL file. I found this on the web: Click the Start button (bottom left corner), type CMD in the search field at the bottom. An icon with the text CMD will appear in the top left part of the window. Right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator". Confirm this action if User-Access-Control requests it. In the command prompt, enter the following command: regsvr32 %systemroot%\system32\vbscript.dll Press ENTER and the next line should have a message saying the registration was successful. You can now run the installation again and it will install correctly.

I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit and it installed good (after running dx setup), but I have a bug after it gets to the day-night part. It crashes with absolutely no warning and no error messages. All drivers and everything should be fine. J_Man. I can't read german so I don't know how to get to the help......... I don't have any luck trying to get help from the adventure company, if you read some of my post about another game I got "The Experiment". The Adventure Company sucks at help (any) problems.

Update on the Crash. I put the "fix" in the game. I didn't uninstall game, but in order to play the game I did have to start at a earlier point of time to play it. So if you all ready have the game installed, put the fix in and then start your adventure one step earlier. I have had no problem after the fix and it is a great game, but does need more such as a way to not kill trees (maybe having melvin clime a ladder and trim off one side of tree). There are several other places that can be changed, but Tthe main game is great and got good graphics. Ending is kinda sad.

the Fix that I am talking about is in this thread farther up submitted by Rachel.. there is some more comments about this fix tho. I have no idea if it is a no cd crack. I am running the cd. I saw that it was supposed to fix the crash, and I followed those instructions, except that I did not un install the game. I then finished the game, but still saved it in spots. I then got curious to see if it would crash without saving. I have now got those results. If this patch works then I do believe that the game will have to be re installed. I got an error message this time tho. Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: game.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 46dfbf5d Fault Module Name: kernel32.dll Fault Module Version: 6.0.6002.18005 Fault Module Timestamp: 49e038c0 Exception Code: 80000003 Exception Offset: 0001e124 OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 1c6c Additional Information 2: 718a6ee762f774a7b0439719ae8d9c86 Additional Information 3: 9dcf Additional Information 4: a53ca31f3a7a146e4f187032a4b22e60 Read our privacy statement: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=50163&clcid=0x0409.Now my question is should I use this fix and re install my game or should I just re install the game?? I don't know enough about programming to know if that fix is a nocd hack or not. J_man

If you used Rachel's suggestion, it isn't a crack or a patch. You can read more about what regsvr32 does here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249873I don't really understand why your vbscript.dll wasn't already registered, but apparently it's happened on other computers as well. You can Google for regsvr32 and vbscript.dll and find out more. But why do you want to reinstall the game if it's working now. Is it just a test? Unless your vbscript.dll somehow comes unregistered again, the game should work OK without repeating the regsvr32 fix.

When I did my experiment about trying to run game without saving, it crashed again with the upper(next one up) error message, even after running the fix. As far as the game, I tried to register the game, but during regestration, there is an error at the German site trying to get in with no help on that. Does this help??? I will try once more and turn the auto save back on to see if that works. Will let you know what that one does.

Update to this post. I have now tried the game with auto save on,(still crashes) so unless someone has a suggestion, my next step will be to re install the game and make sure that the fix is in. I will wait for a bit for any suguestions.
