hi, Ellen, I think the resolution is the problem. I have this game on a W98 & an XP. we had issues with both. in the settings you can choose full screen or not (except XP wouldn't go full) I would go into the control panel to check the resolution. you'll have to reboot after changing the resolution hope this helped!

Everything went A-ok. After installation, I opened it to find my screen all rippley. The game was on. I could sort of make out some text (instructions) and I could hear the music, but I had no taskbar, so had to get out the wrong way. Hate that blue screen. I've never had this problem. what do you think is the matter.
