After finding out the limited edition didn't ship abroad Ebay came to the rescue and today I hugged my mailman
Installed the game, opened it.. and.. error.
A security module could not be (something), This program could not be executed. WTH..?! Tried again, same thing.
Disabled all virtual drives , and changed the compatibility mode of the Myst V shortcut on the desktop to Windows 2000 ( I'm running XP, rightclick on the shortcut, properties, compatibility ) , I don't know who gave me this advice but it sure is working ! ( At least the intro loaded and I can now start my new game...and I have to look for a nice frame to put the litograph in ).
