Games won't load (Vista 64)

[Lord Rick]

My friend is trying to run GF on his 64 bit Vista PC. He used a custom launcher to install the game, and it runs fine. The only problem is that when he tries to load a saved game, he is unable to move and his sound crashes.

 

Any ideas for a solution?

yes...hmm....yaHA!

 

Thank ERU for that one:

 

Patch the GRIMFANDANGO.EXE using imagecfg.exe. Here’s how:

 

a. Download imagecfg.exe at (Thanks to both sites for providing this):

 

http://www.death-web.com/files/imagecfg.zip

 

 

b. Place imagecfg.exe into same directory as GRIMFANDANGO.EXE (usually C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Grim).

 

c. Create a backup of the GRIMFANDANGO.EXE (copy and paste it somewhere else)

 

d. Open command prompt (Click on start menu, left click “run…”, type cmd)

 

e. Change directory to the same directory that GRIMFANDANGO.EXE and imagecfg.exe are now in, for example type: cd C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Grim

 

f. Type the following: imagecfg -a 0x1 GRIMFANDANGO.EXE this will patch the executable file so that it runs on one CPU.

 

that's it Rick, hope it helped your friend.
