Hello guys

 

I got a problem with CMI.

I installed it and when i tryed to run the game, it wants to intall "direktX 5.0". I got DirektX9.01 on my computer. I tryed some more times, and it didn't work. Then i just klickt on the "install DirektX" button, but this didn't help. Then i have try ScummVM Q+E. with this programm i could run MI 1 and 2 and also India Joens 3 and 4, but when i try to run CMI with ScummVM Q+E, it says a data called "comi.la0" is missing. i downloaded the game from e-mule. the downloaded gae didn't run,too. it says it wants to install DirektX 5.0. Then i saw the data, witch scumvm q+e was missing on my original version. i tryed to run the downloaded version with ScummVM Q+E and the screen becomes black for 2 seconds, "yea it works" i thougt, becaus the screen gets black for 2 seconds when i run MI 1 and 2.too. But then i was back in windows. i tryd again and the screen becomes black for 2 seconds angain and the it returns to windows. Then i copyed the missing data into the folder where i installed my original version, and tryed to run it with scummVM Q+E again. it sayed a data called "comi.la1". this data was in the folder with the downloaded version,too. So i copyed the data into my original version and tryed again. But then the screen becomes black and retuned to windows after 2 seconds,too. I hope you can help me with my problem. I'm runing Windows XP Profesional version on a AMD Atlon 2400+ geforce 4 4200, 520mb ddr ram.

yer i tried scummvm it was running all smoothly till i got to the second disk it kept on telling me to insert the first disk when i was a playing the second part of the game even now it keeps asking me to change disks 1 then change back to 2 then one its really annoying i just wanna know how you got it workin using abandon loader because besides the cutscenes the game runs fine.

if u can remember wat settings did u put curse of monkey island on abandon loader to get it running?

No. In actual fact, MI1 was redone but not to MI2 standards. When MI2 was being created, the programmers created a little music engine called IMuse, which basically allows for continuous music throughout the game, with the music changing from scene to scene and so on (MI1 now calls on CD tracks, but when the tracks finish, they just finish, as apose to MI2 where the tracks simply don't finish). This is actually better and was used for years after (it was used In MI3). But they didn't improve the quality as such as you can find with maybe MI1, but then again, who needs it, the music in MI2 rocks anyway.
