I hope i'm posting this in the right place.........!
I've tried to play 3 different AGS games now (Maniac Mansion Deluxe, The New Adventures of Zak McKracken & Kings Quest 2 remake) and none of them start.
As in, I doubleclick on the icon to start the game and a box pops up but it disappears onto the side of the screen. I can see it in the toolbarÃ, at the bottom of the screen. but i can't find or play the game ... When i do click on the game header (minimised at the base of the screen) my computer eventually freezes and i have to restart.
I hope my description makes sense and you guys can help me!

This is likely a problem with DirectX, or other windows drivers. I had a similar problem a while ago, where I couldn't use my mouse in AGS games... the solution was to reinstall mouse drivers. So try running DXDIAG.
when i try tp play all three of those games my computer says that they are not vaild win32 applications. what does this mean and how can i make them work....all other ags games work on my computer....please help
The "not valid win32 application" message usually means the download was corrupted; but it's rather strange that it should happen to 3 different games.
Is it the exact same 3 games as the original poster listed that give you the problem?
