Hello all. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one still playing the Tex Murphy games!
I am just about done with Overseer, and have had relatively few problems. I am playing the CD version (didn't know how to get the DVD version running, until now). I got past the error message at the gallery thanks to this forum, but now am getting an error when going thru the cellblock. I read a post somewhere that there is no known fix for the problem, and the only way to continue is to get a saved game from someone and carry on after that point.
So, does anyone know of a fix, and if not, where can I get a game save?
I appreciate any help - I know this is going to be my last adventure with Tex, but I don't want it to end so soon!

What is the error message you are getting?
You could try changing the Display mode from 640 X 480 to 800 X 600. And if that doesn't do it, email me: [email protected] and I'll send you a saved game.

WoW, this is strange, I am playing the game for the first time on my Windows XP and I even got the DVD to work this time (note: I have played the game before on my old Windows 98 computer using the CD Roms), and I am at the SAME spot as you and the game crashed. I just shut off the MIDI and the game worked fine and was able to turn the MIDI back on when I got to Cell Block C, which is a good thing as you know.

Thanks Fandorin and FFPlayer...
It looks like all you have to do is Mute the MIDI, so I was doing it correctly. No luck there
I went to the site at Quandary Help, and read thru the fixes they had for Overseer. About the only thing there that applied and I had not tried was to disable hyperthreading. Unfortunately, that too did not work.
Nilo, I sent you an email for save games. Looks like you're my only hope?!
Edit - I heard back from Nilo, he is having email issues, but will send me the save games as soon as he gets the issue resolved.
