You can also make compatibility setting changes manually. If that doesn't help, start again and select Windows 98 / Windows Me. As a first pass, under 'Which version of Windows did this program work on before?' select Windows 95 > Next. See Make older programs run in this version of Windows for details, especially 'If you cannot install a program, insert the installation disc for the program and, using the troubleshooter.' Run the Program Compatibility troubleshooter, and * carefully* use it to install Riven. (Be certain to download the 64-bit versions and NOT the 32-bit!) Don't automatically assume that you already have the latest drivers because your machine is new.Ģ.

Update your video, sound, and mouse (or touchpad/mouse) drivers to the latest 64-bit versions from your PC manufacturer's website. This is because of the significant additional processing overhead required to run 32-bit software in 64-bit mode.ġ. Depending on the capabilities of your PC, running Riven with Win 7 64-bit may result in problems like choppy video and/or sound, random black frames, lockups, etc.

Always start Riven with the Desktop shortcut/start icon, NOT from the CD menu. If the Riven CD autostarts when inserted into the drive, cancel back to the Desktop.ĥ. Never boot up with a disc in any disc drive.Ĥ. Do NOT run any other programs before starting Riven.ģ. If you have only a software firewall, do NOT disable it. Disable all anti-virus/spyware/adware/pop-up programs running in the background. Reboot, log into Windows with full Administrator privileges (NOT into a Limited User or Power User account), and close all open applications. Be certain that Riven saves its game progress files to D. If you have a very small C: that's reserved for system files only, install Riven to D.

Be certain that Riven saves its game progress files to your C: drive.
