dancingdead Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Yippee! I finally found a new jewel case copy of GF and ordered it. Should get it soon - I hope :-) Wonder if it comes with instructions - LOL. I was sold after playing the demo! Love the characters, dialogue and music. Since I have Windows ME and have read there may be problems running this game, is there any patches or other stuff to know about when I load the game? I'm a computer DUMMY and I wouldn't like this to crash my computer. BTW, I don't know if this is relevant but my Soundcard is Soundblaster live and my video card is nVidia 64MB GeForce2 Ultra - whatever that all means. I think drivers are up to date but I guess I really don't know HOW I would know that. There was something about Direct drivers on this site but I don't know how to see what version I have. Thanks for your help (Now that the game is on its way, I think I will be here regularly for handholding and gamechat- LOL!) dancingdead :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 You shouldn't have any problems running the game on ME (apart from the obvious problem of having ME). As for the patch, there is one, but I'm not sure if you'd need it. When you install the game, check the properties of grimfandango.exe. If the version number is 1.00, you need the patch. If it's 1.01, you dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Head Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I've run Grim (patched) on 98, Me, 2000, and XP without having any problems, so everything should be ok. The patch is mainly used as a cure for problems which occurred on particularly fast machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 LH: Did you have to "do" anything to get Grim to run in 2000? I've been struggling to get my version working, although it worked fine in 98. Some have suggested that it doesn't like my nVIDIA TNT2, but maybe there's another answer?

Lemon Head Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 not that i recall, I had a GeForce 2 at the time and it just loaded straight up. Have you downloaded the win 2000 compatibility update? It won't work with the original version of 2000. Try getting the latest version here. good luck.
