Hello ... new guy here.
WIndows XP SP3
I don't know much about computers so most of what I've read in misc. forums on the web is greek to me. I have the original TS disk with serial number on the back that I purchased new years ago. I had the game running on my computer until recently when I had to run repair on WIndows. After the repair I reinstalled several programs and ran each one after install to make sure they worked. I then reinstalled TS and tried to run it and I got a black screen. I could hear the intro music and when I moved the mouse I could hear it click the hidden menu items but all I ever got on the monitor was a black screen.
I've tried what little I could understand from misc posts on the web to fix it, i.e.; unblocked it, setting compatibility to Win 95 & Win 98, changing display to 16 bit or 32 bit, screen display to 800 X 600 and all the other screen settings going up and I've reduced and/or shutoff hardware accelerator and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it about 10 times with the same results.
I uninstalled the copy created from the official disk then downloaded the free version .rar file and tried to run that. Although I'm not sure I ever figured out how to correctly install that version, when I ran Game.exe I got a black screen and again I could hear the music and hear the clicks as my mouse moved over the hidden menu.
I know this game works on this computer because it worked fine until I repaired Windows .... I just can't find the setting or whatever to make it run right. Any help would be appreciated.
