Myst 4 revelation: crash to desktop - help...

Archived from groups: alt.games.myst (More info?)

One idea may be to reinstall the video drivers off the M4 DVD. I had a
similar problem, not only with the immediate crash to the desktop, but other
similar problems throughout the game in certain puzzles.

Once I installed the drivers off the DVD, my problems were resolved. It may
or may not work for you, but definitely worth a shot.

Well, talking with ubisoft support and mucking with my system, it
seems that one problem might be directX and a conflict with
NetMeeting, which DX claims prevents 3D hardware acceleration.
Anyone know anyting about NetMeeting? I have been unable to root it
out of my system, despite admin mode command prompt deletes of the
netmeeting folder contents.
