The game worked great until I had to shove balloons down that message system and now it keeps crashing. The audio/video stutters and freezes, and I can't even get past that part now.

I already applied the patch, changed to 16-bits, tried opening in 95/98 mode, switched back and forth to 3D-enabled/disabled, etc. I don't think I can downgrade to DirectX 6.

I tried to disable hyper-threading in the BIOS but I don't even see it there. I have a VAIO and I'm not technical, but honestly I didn't even see it in the BIOS. I'm wondering if Sony even put it there, they're so cheap... I have a Pentium 4 2.2 Ghz.

So now I'm stuck not able to play this cool game. Man I wish operating systems never changed so programs wouldn't become obsolete anymore...

Or maybe the Pentium 4 2.2 doesn't have hyper-threading?

Oh well guess I won't play this game.
