Hello

I just got Myst V: End of Ages and can't get it to work. I meet all the minimum requirements, and have updated my video drivers (nVidia) past 6.14.10 (7.8 I believe).

The problem is when the actual game starts. All I get is this notification that the program has encountered a problem and needs to be closed by Windows.

Any ideas on how to get this thing running?

Thanks

Have you checked for game patches?

Have you updated your sound and motherboard chipset drivers?

Umm, this is strange: I changed drives from my CD-R drive to my DVD drive and the game works (of course, I also disabled my virtual drive).

There was a warning on the box regarding drives that would cause problems, and I think that was the problem.

Thanks for the help
