Fledgling Fyora PersianGoalie Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi, I have been having trouble with playing the first three Avernums on my new computer. When I double click on any of them it goes to the screen of changing the resolution. I click yes then I goes to the Spider Web logo and it freezes there and the program doesn't respond. I've tried doing numerous things like changing compatibility and reinstalling it but no good. Any idea how I can fix it? Additional Details: -Windows Vista -Can run other Avernum games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Maybe try changing to the resolution that the Avernums demand yourself before you open the program? —Alorael, who has no idea what that resolution is and currently no access to a computer that can run Avernum. If the message doesn't tell you, the manual might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Tyranicus can help you more, but you may have to open the games under Windows XP when using Vista. The earlier games were made before Vista and I don't know how much Jeff has done to update them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Right-click on the game's icon in the Start Menu, select Properties, then Compatibility. Set it to run in Windows 95, 98, or XP compatibility mode, and it should work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 For future reference, the first three Avernum games require 800x600 graphics. As do N:R, and the first three GF games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
