Leon, thank you for your input, I will try to reproduce that when I'll have the time, which will be about a week from now, because i am actually abroad now on vacation... I actually was in a hurry to post the game in time before my flight, so it's possible I missed some stuff in my testing...
If you can give me some more details about the crash: can you not start the game at all? Or does it crash if you do a restart from within the game?

The game doesn't crash all the time at that point but I notice an inconsistent behavior in the first room. Sometimes when restarting you get the intro text, other times you don't. But I can play the game alright.

The huge size has to do with the resolution...

Spoiler

...in my opinion way too big for the game .... but I'll keep the remarks for after voting.

@Tzachs:

I crashed the game when restarting from the menu:
Error: Unable to restart game (error:File not found).

I'm one of the 10 who's downloading.... 
But hey.... 112Mb?  :o

For me as well but just in case, I mirrored here.

I think she's the one on the right..

To be very precise:

The woman on the left was a shipping clerk at On-Line Systems, the one in the center is the wife of Bob Davis who created Ulysses and the Golden Fleece and the one on the right is Roberta Williams herself. The man was a waiter from a local restaurant.

I'd say 98SE. It's running faster, takes less resources and is very stable. For older machines it's ideal. XP needs more resources, a faster machine, is pretty stable after SP2 but needs even more space then. If you don't use the internet much and use the machine as a standalone, I'd recommend 98SE. There's still enough software out there and you can bet that all (older) hardware has a driver for 98.

According to Mediafire:

There is currently no time limit on how long uploaded files will be stored as long as you access your account (i.e. login to your account) at least once every 60 days OR at least one of your files is accessed (i.e. downloaded) every 30 days. If your account is not accessed within the time limit, then the files in your account will be cleared.

But as I understand, the file has been downloaded in the last 30 days? The link is back to the original? Might it be a downtime of Mediafire? Since it's a free service, they don't guarantee any accessibility. So maybe the server your file(s) were on went down for some time?

To find the cola:

There's a crossing of roads. Take the road to the south here. Walk to the right over the bridge and in the abandoned village walk into the ruin on the right. On the stones you can find a can of COLA.

Leon, what about the battery? Would it be safe to reset it this way?

Look here...

\\--EDIT--\\
Is the jumper next to the battery the same jumper you are refering to?

Sorry, but I had no idea the bios HAD a jumper... 

It certainly can be. And that's indeed the jumper I'm talking about.

Same location, another game. 

Yeah, that server.... hmmm....
I've uploaded them all 3 to my download page.

There are ways around the bios password. On the motherboard is often a jumper to reset the bios. And... when BIOS resets to default, often also the passwords are being removed. Did you try it?

That's serial. But there's also a port for the PS/2 mouse (the green round one). And one for USB. Tried switching to another mouse?

If you need a Win98 disc give me a shout, I've got several versions.
If it asks for files, you might want to point to c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 to use the files already on the harddisk. Besides, with pre-installed versions, there's most of the time something like a c:\windows\options\cabs folder with all files needed (look for a folder named 'cabs'). Point to that one and you should be able to continue without problems. Win98 needs to reboot quite often though.

You don't want to change to XP, certainly not with older machines. Win98 runs much faster on lower specs.

But it's the resolution that's wrong, not the mouse?

Come to think of it, did something change in BIOS? Did you leave the machine without power for some time and is the BIOS now back to default settings maybe? Can you select the type of graphics there? Or enable/disable the mouse port?

It might be a driver problem.

Is it connected to the internet?
Do you have anti-adware and anti-virus software on it?
Does it automatically do windows updates?
Do you use an onboard graphics card?
When you look in device manager, are there more devices with problems?

If you want to know the graphics card:

- If it's an PCI/ISA card, open the system and look at the card to find the make/model.
- If it's onboard, open the system and find the model number of your motherboard. Look online for specifications of that motherboard model and then the graphics chip will be mentioned. Most of the time you can also find it by looking at the motherboard and look for VIA or S3 but when it's an Intel chip, it's harder to recognize because there might be more Intel chips in there.

Reminds me of Theatrx' work. I'll check out the demo.

Normally when registering a .tk name they assume you build a site there, which has a commercial banner on it. But you can also create a first page that redirects to your real site. Then you don't see the banner but still can use the domain name.

The same goes for myweb.com. You can build sites for free but it has banners on it. When you redirect from your homepage, you don't see them but still can use their domain name and functionality. That's where I store files and screenshots but the site itself is redirected to my own website.

I'm afraid not. I tried already. I'm trying alternative ways now....

I can reach both addresses....   :

Yeps, it's a re-release by Abstauber.

On the games page he explains it all.

Look at the official site. You can find almost all rules and guidelines there. Just a few are still missing. I'm still trying to find those in archives.
