Hello there. I'm having a lot of trouble getting Tex Murphy: Overseer to run, have been to various sites, and generally speaking am at a loss. Mostly because all the solutions I find are about problems that pop up within the game, whereas I can't even run the game.
Game: Overseer DVD
System: WinXP Pro SP2
Celeron CPU 2.40GHz
2GB RAM
AT Radeon HD 3600 Pro AGP
I have installed the game from F:\ to C:\Tex Murphy\Overseer. I have installed DVDExpress. I have applied the 1.04 patch. And after that, when I try to run the game (either in normal mode or Win95 compatibility) I get as far as a window telling me which processes are active. Once I get past that window (or, if I've previously disabled the window, as soon as I load the game), I just get a fatal error, of the uninformative sort: "OVERSEER.EXE has found a problem and will be shut down, please inform Miscrosoft about this problem".
I've tried all available advice, but all the advice boils down to "install DVDExpress and the patch", which I have, and then all the other tips have to do with in-game problems, such as a location in which the game locks up, or trouble after playing FMV sequences, or whatever. I can't get that far - I can't load the game at all.
Oh, my res is 1280x768. I tried conventional 640x480 at 256 colors, just in case, and got no change.
I recently laid my hands on all the Tex Murphy titles, and got every single game to run (Under a Killing Moon is the one that plays the jerkiest, but even that one runs surprisingly well)... except Overseer. Any help would be highly appreciated. If I left out any important information, please let me know.
