Splash screen not loading correctly
Hi,
I am trying to get Tales of Monkey Island working, but I have a problem with the splash screen. The splash shows HTML instead of a webpage:
does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm 100% certain my Java is working correctly. Also, not only the Javascript is not loaded, but the complete HTML is not rendered
I have tried to update my .NET framework, DirectX and Internet Explorer but they were not the problem.
Java and JavaScript are two different things. Neither one is related with the rendering of HTML. JavaScript is used to manipulate content of the Website after it was rendered.
You could check the security settings of your Internet Explorer.
I could also imagine that some kind of security software interferes with loading the website properly.
Depending on whether you have XP or Vista you should try one of these:
Msconfig for Windows XP:
To Boot Clean in Windows XP
1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG --> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup
3. Uncheck Process SYSTEM.INI file
4. Uncheck Process WIN.INI file
5. Uncheck Load Startup Items
6. Click on the Services tab
7. At the bottom, check Hide All Microsoft Services
8. Uncheck all boxes in the window or click the button labeled Disable All
6. Click OK
7. Click Restart
8. After reboot, run game to see if it works.
After performing the necessary steps, restore your system by doing the following:
1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG--> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Normal Startup
3. Click OK
4. Click YES, when asked to restart your computer

Before downloading it again it is generally recommended that you
delete your browsers cache/temporary internet files so that it is not loaded from there:
In recent Firefox and Internet Explorer you can delete the cache/temporary internet files with CTRL-Shift-Del.
In Firefox you would only select "Cache".
In Internet Explorer only select "Temporary Internet Files".
Uncheck all other boxes in each case.
How did it look like in those games?
That's not nessecary, I use FireFox as default and it works fine. Sounds like whatever WAS your default browser somehow corrupted html handling by the IE component.
Ah well, it's solved.. go become a Mighty Pirate(tm) !
Me too. You might try if it still works when you set your preferred browser as default again.
Ah well, trim the sails and roam the sea!
Oh well, i hate bugs that vanish automagically. It always leaves a feeling of incompletion, like a creature in the dark that can strike back at any time.
But great that it works so far.
