Default sherlock holmes the mystery of the mummy- xp pro??

hi,

i've just installed "the mystery of the mummy" on my computer. (os-xp pro).

but, here's the problem:

all i get when i load the game is a black screen and i hear the soundtrack.

so, i entered the game's web site and found out that there is a problem

running the game on win xp that had a certain security patch-from

microsoft windows update- installed on.

i would'nt like to uninstall that security patch and i apperciate if someone

could help me by offering a way to run the game without uninstalling the

patch.

thanks.

Default Its better you throw this title out but if u insist...

Download and install Win XP pro service pack 2 beta or wait for service pack 2 . I was facing same problem and updated my win xp pro to service pack 2 beta and this lousy game started working. But after finishing this game i think its the worst adventure game i ever played.

well,

first of all,thank you very much for your help.

knowing myself. i'll probably play it anyway just to find out in the end that

you were right.

on second thought... i might take your advice and not waste my time on it.

anyway, that's a problem i'll have to solve alone.

u did what u can.

i can't say i had'nt been warned.


and again,

thanks for your help.
