IMy copy of MYST is the origional disk for Windows 95 and 256 Colors. There is not any other game programs on this disk. I found a web site that said not to install the Quick Time 2 program but, I needed to copy some files to the MYST folder like DHIO_DH.QTC, QCMC.QTC, QTCVID.QTC, QTIM.DLL and QTIMCMGR.DLL. They said these files were on the disk. I can not find these files on the disk. The program won't run on my XP. Any Help??

Hi haggis, and welcome to the forums. However, this particular forum (the Myst Hangout) is more of a socializing forum. I moving this thread to the technical forum for the Myst games. Don't worry: there are people who know what they are talking about in there and they should be able to help you with your problem.

You may have a hardware and/or driver problem. If you'll post a DxDiag report in this topic, we can take a look at your system and maybe spot something. The report will be long, but post *all* of it!
To post a DxDiag report: 1. Click on Start > Run. 2. Type dxdiag in the box. 3. Click OK. 4. Let the blue bar in the lower left corner of the Dxdiag window finish crawling and disappear. 5. Run all of the tests you can on the Display, Sound and Music tabs. Do not neglect to do this step! -- a. On the Display tab, click on the Test DirectDraw and Test Direct3D boxes, and follow the resulting instructions. -- b. On all of the Sound tabs, click on the Test DirectSound box, and follow the resulting instructions. -- c. On the Music tab, click on Test DirectMusic box, and follow the resulting instructions. 6. Click on the Save All Information button. 7. Close the DxDiag utility. 8. Now you have a DxDiag.txt file on your Desktop, or in the location where you have saved it. Copy *ALL* of the contents of this file to the Windows Clipboard. -- a. Double-click on the file to open it. -- b. Right-click anywhere in the text, then click on Select All in the resulting menu. -- c. Right-click on the highlighted text, then click on Copy in the resulting menu. 9. Paste the contents of the file from the Clipboard into a new post in this topic. -- a. Click on the yellow Reply arrow in the lower right corner of the screen. -- b. With the mouse cursor at the upper left corner of the Quick Reply to: box, type in any details that might help diagnose the problem. -- c. Position the mouse cursor at the left margin and two lines down from the details, then right-click. -- d. Click on Paste in the resulting menu. -- e. Click on Post Now. If the manufacturer and exact model number of your PC aren't shown under 'System Information' (System Manufacturer and System Model) at the top of the report, also include that information in your post. Or, if you built your system or it was put together locally for you, include the manufacturer and exact model number of your motherboard. Heimdall Semper ubi sub ubi |
