I really don't have many ideas left...
Let's go a few steps back.
Do the launchers of episodes 1-4 still work?
You can find the individual launchers in the installation folders of the episodes. This can be e.g.
C:\Program Files\Telltale Games\Back to the Future The Game\Episode 1\BackToTheFuture101.exe
for episode one.
Yeah. I think episode 4 had a similar problem when I first tried to run it but after a day or so it worked fine, and I didn't do anything to solve it.
I think this is to hard to track down for me. It might be something that changed in your windows installation.
If you have the resources you could try installing a second windows on another harddisk, so you can at least play the final episode.
An alternative that doesn't change your current system too much is installing a windows in vmware player. The game would run a bit slower, but should be playable with your hardware.
Thanks for the help... I could reinstall windows but it's too much of a hassle. I'll just wait till I upgrade or something
I hope Telltale doesn't use this launcher again :P

I'm going to call my isp as well. Maybe it is a problem with them after all...
You could try unplugging your XBOX Controller and all other non essential USB devices.
I would also update the Audio driver.
Updating the audio driver was probably important anyway, so thanks for that ;
If it works then, it's probably a network issue.
I wonder what could be wrong here...
That's odd. Was the hotspot shield icon in the system tray green, while you started the game?

But they worked earlier on the same system?
The other episodes also had a problem but that was different and pressing ctrl shift and +/- fixed that.
