Latest Sam & Max and dual monitors

edited July 2010 in Game Support
I can not get the latest Sam & Max game to run if i have the Aero features turned on in Windows 7. It just comes up with an error that says "sammax303.exe has stopped working" Judging by the Steam forums, this may be due to me having 2 monitors? Since turning off Aero worked, I will not go through the hassle of disabling a monitor to check for sure. unless maybe you ask nicely. :p In any case, I have to set the desktop theme to 'Windows Basic' or the game will not run. I have had to do this before for games, but only for games that were released prior to Windows 7's release, until now....

Windows 7 Home Premium
GeForce 8800 GTS
8 gigs of RAM
2 monitors, as mentioned.
Steam version of the game.

    Try going into your Steam directory, then into SteamApps\Common\<Whatever the folder is for Sam & Max 303>, right-clicking on SamMax303.exe, and enabling Compatibility Mode (Set to Vista SP2).
