Ineffable Wingbolt Rosycat Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I have two computers, a fairly advanced PC and a four-year old Apple Powerbook. In the past I have always registered Spidweb's games on the Mac because they came out sooner for it. However, that computer is getting fairly old and the keyboard is even missing a couple key caps. Also, it does not have easy internet access. I would like to register BoE on my spanking new PC, but in the demo, although I can use the Scen. Editor fine on it, it crashes the computer when ever I try to make a party for Valley of Dying Things. I've tried re-downloading it. Doesn't work. Oh, and there are no tech problems on my Powerbook. Does anybody know whether the crashes would go away if I registered on the PC, or should I just put up with my fuddy-duddy Mac? Thanks, -Rosycat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Drakefyre Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 Try redownloading it. If it still doesn't work, the registered version won't work either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I have run that demo on a Pentium I, a Pentium II and my current custom made AMD. With windows 95, 98 and 2000. It never crashed. Should you use XP, that can be fairly unpredictable at times. I hear that there are patches for a better compatibility, especially with older games.

Ineffable Wingbolt Rosycat Posted February 16, 2003 Author Share Posted February 16, 2003 Well, thanks Drakey, ef. I think I'll just use the laptop. Your advice was appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Win XP users can set the compatibility options for BoE to running in "Windows Me" mode (since the games works fine on WinMe).
