Myst Iv Problems - Please Help
 

Hello, I am so sorry if this type of thread has been used on here before but I do need your help. I have MYST IV PC game but am having trouble playing it. I do know that if you have a DVD-RW, the disc has anti-coping software on it and this conflicts with the loading process and does not allow you to play the game. I have quite a good knowledge of computing, but find most advice hard to follow. Is there anyone out there that can give me some simple advice on how I might go about getting around this problem. The game itself loads fine, but once it states to "start new game", when I press that button, my screen goes black. I'd really like to get this game up and running. Also, does the games "URU" & "MYST V" act in the same way? or has the company done away with the measures that they placed on MYST IV, allowing the user to simply load & play?
I would be most grateful if you could give me some clear, simple advice and thank you in advance.:confused:

Does it work with the original dvd?

NO:mad: I can load the game but when it asks me if I want to start the game and press "New Game", the screen goes black!! It is not a copy and I am not trying to back up the game, I have the original game and just want to play it. I have read that if you do not have a DVD-RW on your computer system it will work fine, but alas, I do:(

Sounds more like a problem with Video/Sound Drivers if you can actually load the game and pass the Copy Protection check! However, if you download any of the Myst IV v1.03 cracks from here: http://m0004.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_myst_4.shtml

it should solve the problem, update the game to v1.03 first though :)

As for Myst V, that uses SecuROM for it's protection and may still cause problems if run from a CD-RW/DVD-RW burner, so use the crack found here: http://m0004.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_myst_5.shtml to solve that problem!

URU uses Safedisc v3, so if you do run into problems running from a CD-RW/DVD-RW then you can grab the crack here: http://gf.wiretarget.com/uru.htm Unfortunately that's for v1.0 I think, but I have a crack for v1.2 if needed, and also for the Addon: Path of the Shell if needed also. I can upload to Rapidshare if you need them?

Hope that helps :)
