Q: Clicking the Walkie-Talkie on Day 3
makes Nigel jump back to the beach.
A: Install the Updater, which can be found here.
Q:
Install Tick-Box for DirectX9.0C still
doesn't install Direct X 9.
A: A rare occurance, on DirectX10 machines,
but if you find the install doesn't automatically install DirectX9.0C,
you can run the DriectX setup manually from Disk2. Open the contents of
the disk, open DXSetup folder. Then double click the icon called 'DXSetup.exe'.
Note: On Vista the '.exe' part may not be visible due to Vista not displaying
'file extensions', SO double-click the file called 'DXSetup'.
DirectX9.0C will iinstall, and off you go!
Q: Cannot get the 'Password to work'.
A:
Some Boxed versions of The Lost Crown require a Password to be entered
during installation. The password can be found on the game manual or in
the box. Enter the password sequence EXACTLY as shown, including any spaces,
dashes or hyphens. The password is also 'case sensitive', so use capital
letters.
Q:
My updater doesn't seem to change the Walkie-Talkie issue.
A:
When installing the Updater; make sure you install to the exact same location
as your game files. On XP and Vista, this is usually Program Files/The
Lost Crown. If you changed the default directory path, you will need to
install the Updater to that location. Secondly, some gamers have reported
that the Updater did not fully download. If your Updater fails to fix
the Walkie-Talkie issue, please download it again, and re-install. Install
the Updater, which can be found here.
