Guest grannen Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 The following is from Lucas Arts Troubleshooting Guide: I Cannot Launch Escape from Monkey Island. What Do I Do Now? Check DirectX Setup to find out how to see if your computer hardware is DirectX 6.1 compatible. Check to see if your Windows desktop color palette is set to High Color (16-bit) and the desktop area is set to 640 by 480 if you have trouble launching the program. On some video cards, other desktop settings may cause problems in Escape from Monkey Island. Check to see how much room is available on your hard drive to make sure that you have enough free space for Escape from Monkey Island to run. It is recommended that you have an additional 75 MB of free space after installing the program for the Windows swap file. Check to see if you have any other applications running, such as memory managers, screen savers, or virus protection programs. If you receive the error: Error: Cannot Initialize Sound System, another application may be using the sound system on your computer. Try launching the program in OpenGL instead of Direct3D. Check to see if Direct3D is disabled. This may occur because of driver incompatibilities. Please refer to DirectX Setup (Section 9) for information on how to check if Direct3D is enabled. Check the Escape from Monkey Island CD to see if it is dirty or scratched. The CD-ROM drive may be having trouble reading the CD. Make sure that your CD-ROM drive letter didn't change since installing Escape from Monkey Island. If it did, you will need to uninstall the program and reinstall it with the new drive letter. Trying running Escape from Monkey Island by double clicking on Monkey4.exe, which is located in the directory where you installed the program. If none of the suggestions above help, you may have a corrupted installation. Try uninstalling, then reinstalling Escape from Monkey Island. ------------------ and Grannen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest grannen Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 In the EMI Menu select Help - Analyze Your Computer and check the result. On the result display you can also run the DirectX Diagnostics. ------------------ and Grannen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest grannen Posted July 22, 2001 Share Posted July 22, 2001 Reinstall Windows! That might help. And don't have any programs running in the background. ------------------ and Grannen [This message has been edited by Grannen (edited July 22, 2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest grannen Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 Are you using a gamepad/joystick? If so, try to disconnect it and reconfigure and reboot. ------------------ and Grannen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
