ah ha, finally after much study, i figured it out, this is an error that occurs with the minimum level of the page file setting, it was set too low by default, 2 something and you have to go into the
My Computer>Advanced>Performance area and set the minimum page file at 384, then it works,
had to delete all the newer versions of Quick time too, to get it to run but it is a lovely game, reminds me of the orginal Myst, same hypercard and slide show with some animations pathway, but it is a
authentic recreation of a lost garden and you get to see some really lovely recreations of famous and now lost chinese art, furnishings and intricate interiors,
