Hi all,
Wow, this is going one tough game! I can't even get past the opening menu
where it shows a book with a circle of buttons: new game, load game, save
game, options, etc. When ever I click on any of the buttons, it drops me
back to my desktop. The game is still running becasue I can Alt+Tab back
into it.
My setup:
2.8GHz P4 with HT
1GB RAM (two 512MB DDR400)
Matrox Parhelia video card (128MB)
Dual monitors (two CRTs)
SB Audigy ZS Platinum
Logitech MarbleMan+ Trackball (not cordless)
Windows XP Pro SP2
Norton AV 2004
I have already installed the patch that has just been released (v1.01?).
Also, I have the game installed on my D: drive (D:\Games\...) and did a
complete install. I have had problems with some programs years ago (Ex:
an older version of RealPlayer) when it wasn't installed in the default
directory. I remember URU having problems with hyper threading P4s.
Any help will be apprecaited. I feel like a dummy because I can't even
get past the opening screen. It is going to be a *long* game. 
Tahnks,
Steven |

Hi there!
I have no idea what the problem is, but you can rule out the installation
path.
I've installed it on "G:\Myst4\" and it is working just fine, also a
complete install.
Just some thoughts:
Your specs should be fine, nothing exotic and enough horsepower.
Maybe it doesn't like dual-monitor. Try disabling the second monitor.
Norton isn't the problem, have that one running too.
Do you have the latest DirectX installed?
Latest video drivers?
Do you have other software running in the background?
Try closing every program, tool and traybar-things you don't need.
I can't think of anything else right now.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Marcel

Dual monitors is not the issue. I have 3 monitors and it runs fine.
Check the game settings under video and adjust them "lower". >> Stay informed about: MYST IV: Can get past opening menu |

I knew it would happen one day, just had a brain-fart. Listed the wrong web
site for the Patch.
Here is the correct one:
http://ftp.ubi.com/us/games/mystiv/patches/M4RPatchPC_1.00_To_1.01.exe.
Sorry about that.

Actually, it does seem to be dual monitor related. I checked tech support
on the UBI site. It said to that this is a problem with some dual monitor
cards and disable dual head. If right-click on the desktop, go to
Proporties -> Settings, click on the second monitr, and uncheck "Extend my
Windows desktop onto this monitor", the game runs fine. As I had said,
the 1.01 patch is installed.
Thanks for everyone's help.
Now onto the next puzzle! Like I said, it is going to be a *long* game.
