Game Crash directly after Himalaya logo

[skribb]

When I start the game, I only get as far as to the Himalaya splash screen, after which the game crashes with the following message:

Very, strange. What kind of system are you running the game on? And what Operating system? The error message indicates an AGS internal error rather than a scripting error.

Is your system capable of playing MPEG-1 movies under windows media player? The game may allow you to bypass the logo movie (and the crash) by holding ESC down the ESC key to skip past it.

Also, did this occur with the full game or the demo?

WinXP SP1
1GB ram
2Ghz CPU

As far as I know, my system can play MPEG-1 movies.

Holding ESC didn't work, same crash occurred.

I have the full game.

To be honest, I'm not sure why the game is crashing. The crash references a game room that doesn't even exist (there is no room53 in the game).

The only things I can think to suggest are to try running the game on another computer if you can, and reporting the bug to Chris Jones on the AGS Engine technical forum. He may be able to suggest something that works:

Have you tried the demo? And if so, did that crash in the same place?

Pardon the idiocy, but I seem to have left out putting the CD in. I thought I had done it, but apparently not. Anyway, it works now, sorry for wasting your time
