Status : Online		Grrr....with Grim Fandango, it was the controls. With this, it's the constant bugs. Will I ever play a game that doesn't have one huge flaw that stops me enjoying it?

Anyway, I've reached my third crash to desktop - I'm making the big stone disc in part 10. I call Crow and tell him to peck off the pigeon droppings. He shouts "I'm on fire!", and then the game pauses like it's about to go to a cutscene, but it doesn't. After about a minute, it crashes to the desktop.

Any ideas on how I can get through this? I can't find any mention of this bug on the net, and I've tried turning off 3d acceleration (which helped me with the stickmen crash). I can't not finish this game now, I need to know what happens!

You might want to try disabling the DirectX features with DXDIAG.  I don't recall if the game utilized it, but I seem to recall that it did.    

Start, Run - DXDIAG... You'll find the options on the Display tab.  Try to disable each (or all) and re-enable them once (or if)you get past it.    

What?

Status : Online		Thanks for your help Inland - I eventually solved the problem by making everything minimum quality, 16 bit colour etc. So glad, I couldn't leave the game now!
