Collector, I followed the method on your site but I'm still having some trouble. The Sierra logo and Opening Movie don't play in the Windows version. I tried playing in Windows 3x in DosBox as well and had the same problem. Also, the XP solution seems to keep the Sierra cursors from changing when you click them. So I'll click the talk icon no matter which other icon I pick unless I move the mouse off screen a few times.

On some PCs the movies won't play, resulting in a black screen. To solve it, remove LOGO.AVI from the game's folder and don't play the intro movie from within the game. If you want to see it, just dbl click on the TOON.AVI file outside of the game. For Win3.x in DOSBox, you need to install Video for Windows.

The cursor bug is a known issue with the Windows version in XP. If you can't live with the cursor bug, just run the DOS version in DOSBox. You have to decide whether to put up with a cursor that doesn't change or loose the hi res graphics and play the DOS version.
