Here's another game to add to the "
Will run on Vista" list
Sam & Max: Hit The Road (
version 2 from 2/16/2007) - normal installation
I got this tip from another board.
It's for those of us who have a dual core - it sometimes helps to disable one to get certain games to run.
If your dual core CPU is what is causing the problem, then you can disable one of the processor cores in task manager if you can get to the game's main menu without it blacking out on you.
1. Open the game to the main menu
2. ctrl+alt+del to open task manager
3. click the processes tab and find the game's .exe on the list.
4. right click on the .exe and select "set affinity".
5. untick the 2nd CPU on the list.
This will only turn off the 2nd core for that program and it'll only stay disabled as long as the program is running. You would have to repeat those steps each time you open the game.
