The Longest Journey not installing?

fishcube · 08-27-2004, 03:12 PM

I take it TLJ won't install with XP? I've tried Syberia and it works fine, but when I go to install TLJ I just get a not responding error. ??

Send it to me

.

On a more serious note, have you tried running the install program in compatability mode?

Compatibility mode?

For compatibility mode - Right click the installer file (probably something like setup.exe), select Properties, select Compatibility tab, and put the game in Win98 mode.

Once the game is installed, you may also have to put the game .exe in compatibility mode, too.

Get used to this... it's needed to get a lot of games working on XP.

Thanks..that worked. I was able to get it installed by right clicking the setup.exe file.
