james_1300 Posted July 12, 2007 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
counting_pine Posted July 13, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_1300 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Hmmm ye, i did last night but can you not save it on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp-30 Posted July 14, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plamdi Posted July 14, 2007 Share 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)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted July 14, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
