Ok, the game is finally running I think. Yesterday I did what Dabhand told me to do but it still would not run. So today I tried again thinking that the little folks who live in my computer might be in a happier mood. It still wouldn't run and though I could partially shut down AVG, I couldn't get the main file to shut down even after 20 minutes of trying. So I thought, just for grins and giggles, I'd try to start it from the game.exe file. Except, when I navigated to the bin file, there was no game.exe file. Now I know it was there upon original install, so only guess is that AVG did something to it. Anyway, I copied the game.exe file from the bin file on the DVD to the bin file on my hard drive and now it is working. I don't know if that will work for others, but it seems to be working for me.

I had AVG paid internet security on my Dell. I just deleted it off my system and installed Avast4 home, and Comodo Plus firewall. It is one of the best decisions I have made. I am kicking myself for taking so long. At least Avast works with the customers to solve the problems and has great tech support. Also they fix false negatives very quickly. I just also saw they have 60 million registered users.
Now the bad news even with AVG removed I still cannot get it to work on my Vista 32. I have done everything written here on advice. Nothing is working. It only works on my WinXP laptop. It installed with no problems and the WinXP laptop has Avast also on it.
Sometimes the E drive everlite DVD isn't being recognized which doesn't make sense because never have I had a problem like this with any other game. Other times it is recognized but I get as far as the game menu and click on install and up pops a screen saying fatal error and it closes down. I DON'T have chance to do anything. Feeling very frustrated as many other who have purchased this game.
Any other suggestions please let me know.

It's sounding like you have a marginal disc. Your laptop's DVD drive is able to read it, but your desktop computer's drive is having difficulties. If you want to play the game using the larger video monitor on your desktop, it may be easiest just to hook the laptop's monitor output to that monitor instead of attempting to get it working on the desktop. By the way, when you say the E drive Everlight DVD isn't being recognized, do you mean you aren't seeing an E: drive in My Computer anymore? or that the the drive just doesn't access the Everlight disc when you click on the E: drive?

I had to delete AVG so Everlight would install and play. Left it uninsulated and installed Avast instead, Everlight played fine. NEXT--Started to download casebook from BF and Avast said there was a Trojan in the file. Never had all this trouble before. What the heck is going on with all these antivirus programs. Guess I will have to delete Avast to. Richard

the drive just doesn't access the Everlight disc when you click on the E: drive sometimes it does but now it isn't on the desktop.
I know the problem, I do not have the game exe. I explored the ocntents on the DVD yes I can do that by right clicking on E drive even though everlight isn't showing up. Wierd huh? Jowood files are there and even the bin but there is not one large file in the directory. The game exe is missing!
How is any of this possible?
Where is it hidden on my computer? How can I find the hidden file? Or was it ever read on the DVD? If someone would be kind enough to zip and send me the game exe wouldn't that work? I have all the other files for it, even the folder everlight and jowood. I remember one time I was trying to install a popup came up and said ghosh I hope I am remembering this right...Xuadill file is missing, or something like that. The strange thing is I found the file in another place in jowood but it was suppose to be in the bin and it wasn't there.
Becky sent this game to me because I won it from gameboomers. I am so frustrated and trying not to give up on it.
Richard, I am downloading Casebook now and it won't be done until tomorrow. The server to Europe from big fish is very slow. I REALLY wish BFG guy would get another server for Europe. I don't have this long download time from anywhere but bigfish.
Even if Avast tells me there is a trojan I trust BFG and will tell them Ignore it.
Sherryah EDIT ................................. This is important and I added it in the message above but forgot to put edit so writing it again. Please someone help me get this game running with my Vista.

Ok Jenny,  for your advice. I won't stop bigfish downloading because it won't be until tonight it will be done and it is only 10:00 am now! BFG Guy really needs some european servers. I said I would never put myself through this again but because the game is so cheap with my gamers club, how could I refuse? I guess I am a glutton for punishment. Besides in the end it is always worth it. Unless like Richard Avast says that casebook is a trojan. I am determined I will not fear this though and download it anyway. Virus protectors sure have a way of instilling fear in us mere mortals.

Some of the pictures just wouldn't download.

Never had this trouble before I still like AVG. Weird If AVG can't tell the difference between a real trojan or a fake one how good is it. Richard

Richard, this happens from time to time. A while ago, there was a game that Avast identified as a trojan but AVG didn't. I'm sure it has also happened with the other virus programs too. It's just another honest folks pay for what dishonest folks do

L4L I switched over to Avast after deleting AVG and downloaded casebook from BF and Avast found a trogan I'm sure the game from BF was safe,so I deleted Avast and installed casebook and no trouble downloading. Can't figure it out. Richard

below is an example from so blond which my son just fixed in 5 mins the smart arse...... but the symptoms and resolution should be the same for any game with these issues according to him. If you have installed the game just follow the below instructions to run the game without uninstalling the antivirus. AVG may have moved the .exe to the virus vault. Simple go to the AVG virus vault and then put it back if the antivirus has already moved it there not sure how to navigate there as he never showed me that bit sorry. You may start getting some prompts about the exe when you place it back but please click on ignore and follow the below instructions. open avg control panel click on tools advanced settings !!!in the list that appears look for Resident Shield and click on the plus sign (+) to expand!!! now click on "Exceptions" now click on "add path" you will then have to navigate to the So Blond folder shown below C:\Program Files\ANACONDA\So Blonde\ click ok and then apply this will then allow the game to work :o) He also told me not to direct the Exceptions path to any other folder that you are unsure of especially the C: dirve as the antivirus will stop checking the drive/folder for viruses.
