Did you check out the GoG forums on the Oddworld series yet ???

I can say that the Steam versions of these games work fine on my Windows 7 Pro, x64-bit machine 😀

No matter where you go, there you are...

with which settings??comaptibility ones i mean

My Steam version didn't require any compatibility mode settings at all.

Did you review the link I posted above for the GoG forums covering the Oddworld Series ?!?

yep,there' no solution,most people make confusio nthough,some are talkign about abe's EXODUS,which is the sequel,which works pretty fine on most pc for anybody.i'm talkign about the prequel abe's ODDYSEE,and seems that many people have the same problem as well,but nobody can come with a solution.the only solution for some is to press the "function"keys that's present on some portable pc.i have a dekstop one so no Fn button there
