Virtualbox did it!  What a hassle to get it to run though, but to all those in the same boat please try Virtualbox and run xp.  Thanks everyone for the help!

Can this be remedied by a patch or something?  Or am I SOL?

I've followed all recommendations with no success.  It must be the plug in.  I'm quite bummed.

I have updated DirectX, but I'll check on my graphics drivers tonight.  Thanks.

It does just hang with no error messages (I can hear the rain in the background)

It happens when the rain sound kicks in (though if I Alt-Tab and come back it shows a frozen main screen with rain)

No window on the screen.

I am using a laptop.

I installed the game off Steam.

I have run it in both Admin mode and Compatibility mode with no luck.

I will try running other games that use AGS and report back tonight (I haven't played any others and there are some interesting ones here).

I have tried it in a window with no filters and still have freezing issues. (I am not running it under Direct3D though I have tried that too)

I have also tried all suggestions here too: http://www.wadjeteyegames.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=28a30b52fbe351cc58603fc0d2bf5de9opic=874.0

My plan tonight will be trying different sound settings and other games that are AGS.

Thank you for the help.

Hi I have been over at the Gemini Rue boards on their website and they told me to come here for help.  The game Gemini Rue which runs AGS is freezing whenever I open it.  I have tried all proposed methods listed on their website: "performance battery for laptop", "setting windows to 16-bit color", messing around with the winsetup.  Nothing is working.  It doesn't even work in windowed mode.

Basic info is I'm using windows 7 64-bit and have no problems running more graphic intensive games.  I can copy and paste my dxdiag info if needed.  Thank you for your time and I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, I can't seem to figure out the appropriate place for this question as no other areas had questions similar to this.  Thank you.
