| 15363 | 2001-07-11 08:21:00 | I can not get Myst 3 to run.I am running 98 SE and exceed the hardware requirements for Myst3.Having done a typical installation as suggested , the program would not work. I then uninstalled and re-installed Myst , this time using the complete install option.Still no luck. 'Reinstalled' 98 without losing any personal files several times and even downloaded latest version of DirectX8 from the Microsoft site in the hope it would help.Scenerio runs as follows: Click on Myst3 icon, Myst3 screen launches and another screen pops up asking how you prefer the game to be 'rendered' .Options are 'Direct 3d' or 'Software' .After choosing either Myst3 disappears and the following appears; ' The program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.' Details 'M3 caused an invalid page fault in module M3.exe at 017f:00426efd .Registers etc etc etc. Any and all advice/comments will be appreciated Thanks tim |

| 15364 | 2001-07-11 19:59:00 | This is copied from www.myst3.com Q. I am getting an error message that says 'M3 has caused an error in M3.EXE.' when I try to run the game. What can I do? A. This is a known issue that is addressed by the 1.2 Patch. Version 1.0 of Myst III: Exile is not compatible with a number of video cards, including Neomagic laptop video cards, SiS cards, and the Intel 740, 810, and 815 graphics chipsets. If you are using one of these chipsets, the 1.2 patch will remove the M3.exe error and allow you to play the game in software mode. These cards do not support the game in hardware mode. You can check to see what video card you have by bringing up the start menu and selecting 'run'. Type in DXDIAG in the window that pops up and press OK. A window will appear with a series of tabs near the top and have the title DirectX Diagnostic Tool written across the top. Click on the display tab and look for the video cards name near the upper left under Name. |
