Sam and Max: Vista vs. XP?

Hello! I did a quick check of the forums and I didn't see this specific problem addressed, and if it was, I apologize.

I bought the retail version of Sam and MAx: Season One (in the box). I popped in the disc and autorun goes, but an error pops up, saying, with an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle, "Error accessing the system registry". Upon clicking "OK", it says "Unexpected error; quitting" with a red x in a circle. I press OK again and cried myself to sleep.

This was all on Vista. I went to my mother who downloaded it on her XP computer with no problems.


I disabled User Account Control, and it didn't help.

Now what? >.>

    I had a similar problem with the Telltale disc version on my Vista computer and followed these steps. Not sure if what you have is really the same problem, but worth a check.

    A lot of times that error occurs when you are not in admin mode.

    You're both right!

    It works now when I run it as administrator. Hats off to both of you!
