Myst EOA will not start on my Vista PC. I get the followign message, and have already tried the recent instructions regarding 'access violation.
Exception type: Access violation

Any suggestions? Thanks

Welcome to the Forums!

Does "tried the recent instructions" include applying the patch contained in Myst5InitFiles.zip?

Yes. When I went to copy the folder to ...\AppData\Local, my computer told me that the file was already there.

Vista correctly told you that the ...\AppData\Local folder was already there, but you didn't go far enough!

When you unzip Myst5InitFiles.zip, you get:
-- README.txt
-- progress.db (in \Myst V End of Ages folder)
-- audio.ini (in \Myst V End of Ages\init subfolder)
-- graphics.ini (in \Myst V End of Ages\init subfolder)

The idea is that you *replace* the existing progress.db, audio.ini, and graphics.ini files with the new ones from Myst5InitFiles.zip. This can be done by either:
-- Overwriting/replacing the existing \Myst V End of Ages folder with the new folder from Myst5InitFiles.zip, which also automatically overwrites/replaces the \init subfolder.
-- Individually overwriting/replacing each of the existing progress.db, audio.ini, and graphics.ini files with the new ones from Myst5InitFiles.zip.

Well done. That did the trick. Thanks.

You're welcome. Enjoy EoA!
