Starship Titanic Reviews
The box states it is compatible, but the reality is blackouts and screen freezes with audio antics. This game will NOT run under Windows XP or 2000. Glad I didn't spend any more than I did.
He went too soon. I thoroughly enjoyed this game. 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. It has great characters and interesting puzzles to solve. Adams. I still go back and play it again from time to time. I wish we had more games from Mr. I bought it when it first came out and raced to complete it with all the others who had bought it.
There is a less drastic way of getting the videos to work under service pack 2. Hope this helps. The game checks the current directory when it loads up before it checks the system32 directory for the file, hence it loads the SP1 version for the game, and all your other programs use the safer SP2 version. Simply get a copy of iccvid.dll from XP Service Pack 1 (Often on the original windows disk, it just needs uncompressing) and drop it into the games root directory (The same directory as ST.exe is in). This means you do not have to mess around with windows system DLLs.
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:windowssystem32 with the one found on a sp1 machine (or extract it from the install cd) then it'll work without a problem. 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. .
Not gonna happen. 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. None of the avi files in the game play. Finally I ordered it for dirt cheap the other day. I waited more.
So it was the same price as before. I installed it and found the same issue another user reported. Accordin to the other review you have to uninstall XPSP2 and go back to SP1. Oh well. Never saw it in stores again.
Btw, I'm a huge Douglas Adams fan and have read all of the Hitchhiker and Dirk Gently books. Kind of ruins it.
