SP2 fix - a workaround

I just wanted to say that I loved this game when it first came out, and I just now found my copy if it from ages ago, and I am starting ot play it again.

I ran into the same SP2 incompatability problem, but I did a little research (about 5 minutes) and found that if you replace iccvid.dll in C:\windows\system32 with the one found on a sp1 machine (or extract it from the install cd) then it'll work without a problem.

No videos, wanted to play it so bad too.

I didn't want to pay full price for this game so I waited....then it finally came out in stores again....with a strategy guide bundled. So it was the same price as before. I waited more. Never saw it in stores again. Finally I ordered it for dirt cheap the other day. I installed it and found the same issue another user reported. None of the avi files in the game play. Kind of ruins it. Accordin to the other review you have to uninstall XPSP2 and go back to SP1. Not gonna happen. Oh well. Btw, I'm a huge Douglas Adams fan and have read all of the Hitchhiker and Dirk Gently books.

So disappointed! I had looked forward to playing this game for so long. Finally got it, installed it and then...nothing. Every time I would click "Play", it would go back to my desktop screen.
I tried all 3 sizes of install options. I made sure I had the current DirectX...nothing. I have played at least 30 other games, of all types and sizes, on my computer. But not this one. I went to the SST site, where they offered a patch. The patch page was no longer accessible. Okay...I went to the SST Forum. Talked to a couple of folks about my situation. No luck. I even purchased another copy, of the game, which I had thought would be a newer version. Same version.
I do agree with the other reviews in that it is no doubt a great game...if only I could play it!

Disappointed

This game will NOT run under Windows XP or 2000. The box states it is compatible, but the reality is blackouts and screen freezes with audio antics. Glad I didn't spend any more than I did.

Great game from a great man!

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I bought it when it first came out and raced to complete it with all the others who had bought it. It has great characters and interesting puzzles to solve. While it is true that it does not run on Windows 2000/XP, it runs just fine under MS Virtual PC (now free from MS) with Win 98 installed. I still go back and play it again from time to time. I wish we had more games from Mr. Adams. He went too soon.
