Monkey Island Special Edition Collection - PROBLEM

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, i'm new to the forum, and I´ve been digging like crazy to try and find something about this problem (also here in the forum) and found nothing.

 

It's also a startup problem, but a little different than the ones i've seen around.

 

I bought the cd of the Monkey Island Special Edition Collection, which includes both the new Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge.

 

After the installation the game goes to a menu window, where I can choose to play The Secret or Monkey 2, listen to the game's musics or check the art concept of the games.

 

Listening to the background musics or watching the concept art works alright. The problem is, when I choose to play any of the 2 games the menu closes, the CD (which this game's version asks for if you want to start the game) stops rotating and that's it!! It simply doesn't start up! No crash reports, no blue/red agonazing window, nothing.

 

I tried the graphic .ini thing (this version aparently doesn't have this file, only the .pak ones), tried to disable the sound enhancement, tried loads of things, nothing worked.

 

The pc is really new, I bought it last week, and was dying to play this games....

 

The laptop configs are:

I'm not a doctor but try this: Run in Compatability Mode

 

-Close the program if it is still running.

-Within Windows Explorer, go to the executable, right-click and choose Properties.

-On the Compatability tab, check the box for "Run this program in compatability mode for:

--Choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3)

-Choose OK to close the Properties window.

-Try to run the game again and tell us what happens. If you don't come back, I'll assume you're lost in the jungle on Melee Island.

Yeah, I had this idea too. Tried it this morning, and it didn't work at all.

The same problem keeps happening, when I try to open the game from the menu, it closes, and nothing happens anymore.

 

The funny thing is, in the cover of the CD, it says that it's made for windows XP, Vista AND Windows 7.

 

They say that it needs an intel Pentium 4,3 GHz though, or an AMD Athlon 64 3000+.

My processor is only 2,3 Ghz, but its an i7 for christs sake, it can't be that...
