1 out of 5 stars Beware! & update   October 9, 2008
 9 out of 11 found this review helpful

I just received this and the game is not working. The game starts, and I can click on everything on the main menu, except for New Game. When I do, it crashes and gives an error message. Tech Support, at this time, has not been established yet, so I went to the fourms. They have a board for tech questions and lots of people are having this problem. The companys answer to this is that we don't have the right video card. Here is the note taken from the site:

NOTE: If the Name or Manufacturer lists SiS, S3, Intel, or Via, your computer has an integrated graphics controller which is not sufficient to run the game. In addition, the Approx. Total Memory must be 64 MB or greater.

But the system requirments that are listed say nothing about this :

Windows: 2000/XP/Vista(tm)
CPU: 1.4 GHz Pentium 3
RAM: 256 MB
CD/DVD-ROM: 16x
Video Card: 64 MB DirectX 9 Compatible
Sound: 16-bit DirectX Compatible
Disk Space: 2.3 GB Available
Input: Mouse, Keyboard and Speakers

I am waiting for a response from the makers.

UPDATE:

They are currently working on a patch to fix this problem, which they say we should have tomorrow. I will update again if it works and what I think of the game.

2ND UPDATE:
They released the patch and it seems to work. I am having another problem with the game. The cursor is off about an inch. It makes it very difficult to play. They are checking into it. I have not seen anyone else who has had this problem with the mouse. What little I was able to play, it is nothing like moving around like Nancy Drew, for all of you Drew fans. Difficult and annoying, but maybe that had to do with my new problem. I will update again if this problem gets fixed.
