trying to play b&w2. you of course have to do the tedius tutorial, but every time at the same spot it freezes and will in no way respond...forcing me to reboot. it's when i'm being introduced to the scrolls etc, the silver one in particular. thinking it may have been the disk i tried it on the less capable family computer, though it was painfully slow it played past the dreaded point fine. my comps pretty good, more than capable, basically new! so i can't figure it out. a friend told me it could be the operating system causing the problem (i hear vista doesn't always agree with everything) and advised me to come online and ask others...so here i am. hope you can help.

Does this have anything to do with the Tiger Unlocker/Installer? http://www.vistareadygames.com/show... http://www.vistareadygames.com/show...

Chances are your os, vista, is not meant for this game http://compsimgames.about.com/od/bl... As you can see, it only lists xp/2000. While it may run on vista, it may be buggy, AND if you run direct X 10, it might interfere. Make sure in the future you check if games can run on vista.

i presumed vista was not on the system list on the back of the box because the game was made ages before vista was announced. and no it happens with every creature, not just the tiger

ahh i see what you mean now by tiger installer, no i don't even have it. it says on the website you gave me there though that it playes fine on vista. but: "Works well under Vista. Run as administrator and set to Windows XP compatability." how do i set it to xp compatibility? and now i'll apologise to doomhammerr too, when you said check, i thought you meant on the box, sorry. okay so i'll try changing the compatibility thiing...anyone know how? haha

this is all great stuff, thanks alot, still not working though, i changed b&w2's compatibility settings through xp to 2000, still having the same problem. i had high hopes for that too. anything else?
