i can setup it just by create a new Drive by FAT32 type to it can copy files there. and now i think Game does not work well. because in game:
i get some keys and then goes to open car's door but i cant open. is it that maybe my RAM is NTFS and that does not work??!!!!! or my path is wrong!!!?

Right,
My path was wrong..
You will not need FAT32 Drive type, or anything, just

and dont forget in game that get mouse over on top left of screen for an icon.
so Thanks... Bye

Hi i'm running hopkins fbi on a windows xp sp2 machine and when i have to go to the fbi laboratory (in any moment of the game), the game crashes and returns to windows with this: tw_fillblock: adpcm_initdecoestream() failed. adpcmerror:adpcmerr_invalidadpcmbufptr

i tried also the windows 95 and 98 compatibility right click on hopknins,exe but with no luck

do u know how to resolve?

thx in advance
