Okay, here is the deal, I got the Myst Tenth Anniversary set, two of the games are useless to me. I can't play Riven, I've tried everything, patches, you name it I've tried it. The GSPD patches, don't work dvd version doesn't come with one of the files. I even did the Mohawk trick. The quicktime files are copied and everything.

I, with nothing else to do, tried installing the 6.3 Quicktime.

I'm running Windows Xp with Sp 2. None of my drivers for anything are conflicting the game.

Here it comes.

-I run it with QT 7, nothing, doesn't even start.

-I run it under compatibility mode, black screen then to desktop.

-I get QT 6, nothing.

-I run compatibility with QT 6, runs fine until the first screen (Where Atrus Speaks) just freezes at him. Although, if I quick really fast before, it skips the video then freezes at the second screen (The starting Age).

I'm extremely angry, two games out of a three game box don't work, thank god for realMyst.

Although, I really want to play Riven, the box lied to me, even the Ubisoft site does, claiming running in compatibility mode fixes all problems!

I'm personally thinking of installing a second desktop (98) to try to see if it works, sucks that it is a dvd though. I would have it running on a different computer by now sad.gif.
