james_1300 Posted July 12, 2007 Posted July 12, 2007 Hi, i used to love this game when i was like seven or eight (albeit with a lot of help from my dad) and I want to play it again. Obviously it has problems on XP so i followed the instructons ont this link: http://www.mcwalter.org/tentacle/xp/ But after a few minutes of playing my PC just suddenly switches off. Can anybody help?
counting_pine Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Not sure why that's happening, but I suggest you forget about the old DOS executable, and use ScummVM to play it instead.
james_1300 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Posted July 13, 2007 Hmmm ye, i did last night but can you not save it on that?
jp-30 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Yes, you can save under scumm VM, but it has it's own save key / function. Don't use the game's save button.
plamdi Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Does the problem persist when you're not using VDMSound (the only difference should be that there's no music/sound without VDMSound)?
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 It should never make your computer crash... especially XP. It's possible it's overheating. ScummVM works fine. Just save by pressing F5 as usual.
