Burgeoning Battle Gamma Lemon Demon Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 It doesn't seem to work. I managed to install, but it everytime it closed the program. It was pure fluke I got it installed. And when I try to play it, it just closes almost as soon as it comes up. Whats happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Wizard Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 try setting your desktop color to 16-bit and see if it works. If it wont, try to redownload it and reinstall it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan ef Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 It's an older game, so you may confront a compatibility problem. Microsoft offers compatibility patches for games, just check their site. Also read this: Compatibility mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Lemon Demon Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 I've tried compatibility mode but it doesn't work. And I'll try the colour mode as soon as I can. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Imban Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 BoE works better for me on Windows XP than it ever did on any other operating system I've run it on. (Of course, I haven't played it on a Mac. I suppose that it would be best on one, mostly because it was designed on one... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Timmy, Power Gamer Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 i have it too, its as simple as making it and auto on/off when you play the game. (always change colors thing in the menu) it never bugs me, changes in, switches back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgeoning Battle Gamma Lemon Demon Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 OK, fine, the computer can't handle almost any game. It can't take return to Zork, or BoE and probably wont be able to handle much else either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Eldibs Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Wait, your computer can't handle BoE, but it can run Windows XP??? I could have sworn that XP had HIGHER system requirements than BoE. What are the specs of your PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Kill3rsnail Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I started having this problem with Exile 2 yesterday. Shutdown after half a minute or so. Before that I'd completed Exile 1 without ever having problems, and played a ways into Exile 2 too. I haven't installed any new software so I have no idea why it's started acting up.

Articulate Vlish Red_lord QQ Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I am also running XP and it works fine for me as do all the other spidweb games I have played. But try to clean some space off of the windows place. A full C: Is a buggy C: (I have experienced that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
