Game Keeps Crashing (or sound stops)


Fullfacile

Recommended Posts

I installed the game in XP, on a 2.6GHZ. It turned out the PC was too fast for the game, and this is what made it crash randomly.

 

Try this :

 

Reboot, and enter the BIOS by pressing delete or whaterver gets you in the bios (depends).

 

In there, DISABLE HYPER THREADING (don't forget to re-enable it when you want your PC to be fast again!!!).

 

See if it works.

 

- If it keeps crashing, try getting in your Display settings (in the control panel), and set the Bit Depth to 16 bits.

 

Try again...

 

It worked for me, and I hope you get a chance to play this great game!

 

Cheers!

Instead of slowing down your whole fast hyperthreading computer, there's a quick and easy hack where you can disable hyperthreading on a per program basis. You set it up once and you can play grim fandango forever! (well until vista anyways)

you may have to search this page a bit. Pressing control+F and then typing 'hyperthreading' helps you find it.
