Fat John Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 I've been playing Lucasarts adventures since I was 4 years old, and Grim was the only one I hadn't played. So, being the rich Lucasarts-addicted student that I am, I bought it today. However, it doesn't work under Win2000. Which is annoying, to say the least. Is there a way I can get it to work, or have I just wasted £7.99? I'm really angry and need answers! (Sorry if this is a common, stupid or unanswerable question, I looked all over the site but couldn't find anything about Win2000, and I downloaded the patch, it made no difference either.)
Benny Posted November 13, 2002 Posted November 13, 2002 Saying why it doesnt work would help. As in what happens when you try and run it...
Fat John Posted November 13, 2002 Author Posted November 13, 2002 Yeah, that might help, sorry When I run it it tries to install DirectX 6, but I already have DirectX 8 or whatever. The game won't run without installing DirectX 6, but I can't install DirectX 6, my computer won't let me. The same thing has happened with other LucasArts games (Rogue Squadron, Jedi Knight) and I have no idea how to fix it. I'm using a laptop, is that a factor? I more than meet the minimum requirements... Thanks in advance.
Fat John Posted November 13, 2002 Author Posted November 13, 2002 Erm. Next time there's a thread called "READ THIS FIRST", will someone kindly remind me to read it first? I suck. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
Benny Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 Run the actual .exe rather than the launcher. Run GrimFandango.exe rather than Grim.exe to launch the game directly. Also look in this thread if you have more trouble.
Tall Guy Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 HEY! get your smelly monkey island avatar out of here!!!
