Have just resumed replaying Pandora Directive and am on Disc 5 which is day 8. All other discs played well and in the past the whole set played well. But now am getting such broken up screen images when I go from moving freely to being stopped to search that I can hardly see the screen let alone do anything.

Anyone have an idea what might be going on or what I might be doing wrong? :roll:
maybe it's your disk, have a look to see if it's scratched or fingermarks.

I try to be very careful with handling of discs but that is not to say there may be dirt etc. on it. I could not see fingerprints or scratches but would like to clean anyway. What is the best way to clean a disc and with what kind of material? Might you know?
Several of us have contacted Dr. Paul, sent him a flash drive (4GB or more) and he sets it up so you can play the game on any computer that has a USB port. Really great because you play off the FD, not the computer disc. If you cannot get the problem resolved, this certainly is a viable alternative.

Or repurchase it from GOG.com in support of our good friends.

But to answer your question, any soft tissue will do. I use the hanky that came with my glasses, as it's soft and doesn't leave any marks at all. So if you use glasses, you probably have a similar soft handkerchief as well.

no don't buy it from gog as they have left some files out of it, or if you do I can give the files to fix it up.

soft cloth & you wipe across the disk & not round in a circle. A tissue will scratch the disk.
A microfibre cloth is also good

not sure if this is your problem but just looking at the cd might indicate if this is your problem.
if you cannot see fingermarks or scratches then it could a video problem.

The Flash Drive as mentioned works great... Also if you up it to an 8 GB Flash drive, you can get the first 4 games, that's Mean Streets, Martian Memorandum, Under A Killing Moon, and Pandora, all on the same Flash Drive... And there's enough room left over, where you can put things like the Manuals, the E-Novels, the Puzzle Solutions, Walkthroughs, and Radio Theater Files, on it... Now all of your Tex Murphy stuff, Minus Overseer, are all on one handy Flash Drive...
