Crime Stories / Martin Mystere on Vista

Simon Callahan · 12-23-2007, 01:02 PM

I registered here a while ago asking about an old adventure game I played called Run Chico Run (or something along those lines). I never did finish the game (the Brady Bunch puzzle still counfounds me to this day), but I'm actually here for another game.

I recently bought a new laptop. Of course, being a new laptop, it's got Vista on it. I also bought the game Crime Stories (Martin Mystere to some of you). I have a problem running this game, though. It seems that Windows Vista doesn't support the video codec used to run the game, so I can't play it. Is there a workaround for this? I've checked the offical site multiple times, but there doesn't seem to be any updates for the game. Is there anything I can do to prevent my game from becoming a $10 coaster?

Have you ever gotten Crime Stories to run on Vista? I keep getting the message that Virtools player stopped working.

It wouldn't hurt to install Virtools 3D Life Player.
After installation you may need to restart a few times for it work properly.

Please check back here, if it works
