I am trying to Setup Interactive. I believe it was somebody here that Emailed me
and told me to try and not let the Version of QuickTime on the CD-ROM install,
but rather install an updated Version myself. So I did that. Then I went through the
Setup process of Interactive. The thing is though, when I go to Run/Play Interactive,
it tells me I don't have Quicktime installed.

Help, please. You can go ahead and Email me at: mymocha@charter.net

Ever since I installed Windows XP I couldn't make it work any longer.

The same as you: don't have Quicktime installed
But I do-

So if someone Knows how to make it work, please tell us

Thank you

It's probably cuz it doesn't recognise the newer versions of Quicktime
(...it was released 10 years ago you know!).
You may have to install the old version to run it.

I think this should get added 2 the FAQ!!!

Teacher knows best...

Well, I tried that, and still nothing.

I've heard people say that they have gotten it to work with XP. And then there are
those who haven't. So, if there are those who have gotten it to work, it makes me
think that those of who haven't, just are doing something wrong, not realizing what
it is.

I hope somebody will be willing to help out here.

Of course, it would have been helpful if I would have received a Booklet with
mine, but of course, I didn't.

why bother...the ending is abismal...except for the Video he shot for "Top Of The Pops"

You may have to run from outside Windows to get it to work.

It's just one of those things that you want to see for yourself before you
make that decision. It seems to be a love it or hate it type thing.....I
just want to find out what it is for me.

You can actually run Interactive on Windows XP. . .I did this a number of months ago and it works perfectly. Just go to help on your start button and search for "running older programs." This is what you'll find.:

Getting older programs to run on Windows XP
Most programs run properly on Windows XP. The exceptions are some older games and other programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows. To run your program on Windows XP, try the following:

Run the Program Compatibility Wizard. As an alternative, you can set the compatibility properties manually.
Update your program, drivers, or hardware.
These options are covered in detail below.

The Program Compatibility Wizard
This wizard prompts you to test your program in different modes (environments) and with various settings. For example, if the program was originally designed to run on Windows 95, set the compatibility mode to Windows 95 and try running your program again. If successful, the program will start in that mode each time. The wizard also allows you to try different settings, such as switching the display to 256 colors and the screen resolution to 640 x 480 pixels.

If compatibility problems prevent you from installing a program on Windows XP, run the Program Compatibility Wizard on the setup file for the program. The file may be called Setup.exe or something similar, and is probably located on the Installation disc for the program.

To run the Program Compatibility Wizard
Start the Program Compatibility Wizard.
Follow the instructions in the wizard.
Note

To start the Program Compatibility Wizard, click Start, click Help and Support, click Find compatible hardware and software for Windows XP, and then, under See Also in the navigation pane, click Program Compatibility Wizard.
Set the compatibility properties manually
As an alternative to running the Program Compatibility Wizard, you can set the compatibility properties for a program manually. The settings are the same as the options in the Program Compatibility Wizard.

To set the compatibility properties for a program manually
Right-click the program icon on your desktop or the shortcut on the Start menu for the program you want to run, and then click Properties.
Click the Compatibility tab, and change the compatibility settings for your program.
Notes

The Compatibility tab is only available for programs installed on your hard drive. Although you can run the Program Compatibility Wizard on programs or setup files on a CD-ROM or floppy disk, your changes will not remain in effect after you close the program.
For more information about an option on the Compatibility tab, right-click the option and then click What's This.
Update your program or drivers
If your program does not run correctly after testing it with the Program Compatibility Wizard, check the Web for updates or other fixes, as follows:

Check the Web site of the program's manufacturer to see if an update or patch is available.
Check Windows Update to see if a fix is available for the program. Click Home on the menu bar of Help and Support Center, then click Windows Update in the right pane.
If the program is a game that uses DirectX, ensure that you are using the latest version of DirectX. In addition, check the Web site of the manufacturer of your video card or sound card to see if newer drivers are available for either of them.

Thanks a bunch.....I've already tried this, tried it again after you
explained it, quite well, I might add. But it just plain will NOT work! It will
not install the QuickTime, and even if I do it myself, it says it is not there.
I actually went to the QuickTime Installer on the CD-ROM itself, and that
File will not run. I really think I got a BUM copy! I'm soo MAD, SAD
and FRUSTRATED!

I thought I asked all the right Questions before I bought it.....but when
I called them after I got it, they toldl me to call them back if I had any
problems.....I'm going to be doing that tomorrow.

What do you think, I did a Search on the Internet tonight, and I found
a place that sells the Orginal, in the Box, with the orginal Inserts.....do
you think I would have better luck with this, or would it just be the same
ole', same ole'?

Thanks again.

Yea I am having the same problem with my new computer using xp, it will not accept the new version of quicktime. But I know that the game works cause it works well on my old computer using win 98.

Ì just tried 2 run it myself, and here is what worked for me:

I copied all the files in the folder QTINSTL on the cd-rom to my c:\windows\system32 folder and started program.exe. and then it actually worked.

The setup does not work than, so i don't know if you can save or anything, but at leat it is a start.

hope it helps...

Hey.....I just wanted to say THANKS to you all for putting up with me whining, and
helping me try and figure out how to get it to work.

I'm happy to report that for some reason, by the grace of God, it decided to work
for me the other day! So, I've been trying to figure it out. It's been fun, but I
haven't gotten too far into it.....I have no idea what I am doing. lol

Thanks again!

Also, if anybody knows where I can get a Booklet that came with the boxed CD-ROM version, please Message me or Email me.

Thanks.
