Realmyst On Vista Options

[J'iim]

Well, after giving it just one more try, I finally was able to get realMYST to run on Vista.

I did 3 things but I'm not sure what actually made the difference from my previous failed attempts to get it to work.

I loaded the game (complete) from the CD and then:

1) I browsed the CD and ran the dx7 setup (even though I have dx9 installed on the system already)
2) I searched the web and downloaded and installed the codec for Intel Indeo 5.11. (I have 1.2, 3.2, 4.5 and 5.1 installed or IYUV,IV32,IV41 and IV50)
3) I set the compatability mode to Windows XP SP2.

Runs on Windows Vista Business Edition. No other version of Vista tested.
