The Launcher for Tales of Monkey Isle has no start button!!!
Hi I have just installed tales of Monkey Isle on my new win7 64bit laptop and the game sections all installed without error but when I go to start the game all I am met with is the tellTale launcher with no kind of start button to launch the game!
My System specs are as follows:
Acer Aspire 5553G:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 N930 (2.0Ghz 2MB L2),Memory: 4GB DDR3 RAM, HDD: Toshiba 320GB SATA 2, Graphics: ATI Mobillity Radeon HD5470 (750Mhz and 512MB GDDR3) and Sound: Creative X-Fi Go
Iv'e attached an image of the useless launch menu here so you can see, hope this helps and thank very much for your help.
Other info if relevent: Default Browser: Mozilla Firefox 3.6, IE explorer 8 64bit is also installed but not set as default browser.

I have Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family on my laptop.
Please let me know if you find a solution.
I also have the most recent versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer and Firefox is my default browser.
Booting clean in Windows Vista / 7:
1. Click Start --> Run --> Type MSCONFIG --> Click OK
2. On the General tab, choose Selective Startup
3. Uncheck Load Startup Items
4. Select the Services tab
5. Check Hide all Microsoft services
6. Click Disable all
7. Click on OK
8. Click Restart.
9. After reboot, run the 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
Based on Will's post
I don't know if this helps or not but after posting above I tried the episodes from Devil's Playhouse and didn't have the problem.
Did you install all the latest windows updates?
A dxdiag log might be useful too.
Do you have the DVD Version of ToMI as well? In case nothing helps, you should be able to run it, because it uses an entirely different launcher, or none, depending on how you start the game.
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.
From a quick look at them you should make sure that javascript is not disabled in internet explorer, and that you've run the DirectX updater.
If those attempts fail, i would also try running the game in compatibility modes for older windows versions ( XP or Vista).
The launchers of the later games don't depend on Internet Explorer anymore. I don't know how much work it would be for TTG to repack the previous games with the Qt/Webkit Launcher, but considering these problems some people have it is something that should be worth considering.
I am not an expert on these Launcher issues, it's probably better to write to support@telltalegames.com about it and link to this thread.
