Demo error

[andys1376]

I'm having a problem running the demo. I am running Win 98 SE, and I do know that the game isn't technically supported on my OS. When I clicked play, an error message came up saying, "The MSVCRT.dll file is linked to missing export NTDLL.dll: RtlGetNTVersionNumbers." With a little help, I realized I needed to replace the msvcrt.dll file in the 'myst v demo' folder with the one in my windows\system folder. The game ran once, but every time after that (even after reinstalling the game and recopying msvcrt.dll), it gives me an 'illegal operation' error, something like 'EOA has caused an invalid page fault in kernel32.dll'. I tried playing after a reinstall before copying the dll file, which gave me the original error message again. Any ideas? Thanks!

Whats EOA the demo file name is not EOA its
"C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Cyan Worlds\Myst V Demo\MystVDemo.exe"

But then again I using windows xp so short names do not apply to me , also maybe the short name or lack of long names will cause the demo or full game not too play right on win98 , did you think of this if it looks for a long name file instead of short name one

MystVDemo.exe launches the launch window - eoa.exe is the actual game file.

Ok Your right , but the demo still has many bugs that need fixing , is their any patches for the demo yet?
