I use windows 98 and I'm having trouble. I downloaded it successfully but I don't know how to get into it.

Hmm, this might be the second time I'm hearing of this problem.... (are one of the people who posted on MT?) Hopefully this isn't a widespread issue
I'm not sure what your level of computer proficiency is, so I'll try to explain how to run the program in detail. Please forgive me if this is a big "DUH" to you, but I'm just trying to make sure
Step 1: Download ToL1.zip from the website.
Step 2: Using a decompression program such as WinZip, EasyZip, WinAce, etc., Extract all of the files in ToL1.zip into the SAME directory.
(Note: EasyZip is freeware, so I use that
)
Step 3: Read the readme.txt file.
Step 4: Run "Tales of Lemma 1.exe" and the program should start up. If it responds but doesn't work (i.e. the screen flickers or you get an error message) then please report it here along with what version of Windows you are running. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible!
NOTE: You can try running the Allegro Setup program that is distributed in the ToL1.zip file if you have sound problems or mouse problems. From there you can change the mouse and sound settings.
Please let me know if this helped!

I just downloaded the zip file and was able to successfully unzip all the files, but when I execute the exe file it gives me an error message about not being able to set the video mode.
Win 98
Video Card is an STB Velocity 128 8MB
Tried both 800X600 and 1024X768 resoltuions running 16 bit color.
Think of anything I could try or any other infomation you need just let me know.

Evil Bob: There are a few things I can think of that may be causing the problem:
1) Your video card isn't supporting DirectX or your version of it is too old
2) You can't run DirectX in 640x480x16 mode on your system
If you can run DirectX in 24 bit color or 32 bit color in 640x480 mode, try setting your computer to 24-bit or 32-bit color before running the game. Then the computer will try to use those color modes with the game, possibly fixing the problem.

I've never heard of that problem, but I'll look into it and get back to you.
