Monkey Island 1
I bought these 5 games from you and downloaded them. I played the first one fine but now I get a message saying there is a problem with the exe file. I´m pretty sure this is somehow connected to Adobe. At some point I got a message saying I needed to download Quicktime. I was taken to the Adobe we site. When the downloading was completed I found McAfee on my desktop. I uninstalled it since I have AVG. Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled all the games. Same problem, a message saying there´s a problem with the exe file. Now I get a messge from Adobe telling me they have an update. I click install and it corrupts one of the shortcuts to my games before stopping and saying they can´t continue the update for some reason or other. Has anyone had these problems? What can I do, I've only played the first of the five games.

Can you post the exact error message you get when you start one of the later episodes?
Is your display color depth still set to 32 bit?
You should also try a clean boot.

Please post a dxdiag log. Let's also make sure your installers are okay. You'll find instructions below.
dxdiag
Windows XP: Go to your start menu and click on run. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter
Windows Vista / 7: Press the windows key on your keyboard or click on the start menu. Type in "dxdiag" and hit enter.
Now click on the button that says "save all information".
It will prompt you to save a file. Save it where you can find it.
Then zip the file and attach it to a reply in this Thread.
MD5 Check
Please download and install Hashcheck.
Then unzip and copy the attached MD5 File into the folder that contains the installers you downloaded from Telltale.
Finally just double click on the .md5 file for verification and tell us the results.
Green: File is okay.
Yellow: File is missing.
Read: File is corrupt.

Yes it's the correct file.
You have 2 Displays. Try disabling/disconnecting the external one.
You should also install the latest Graphics Driver and Audio Driver.
Also run the DirectX Updater.
Put the MD5 file into the folder which contains the files you downloaded here.
