Has anyone had any luck getting the software to run on XP? At first it was
giving a couple of errors but I altered the registry settings (as described
for Windows NT in this newsgroup) and then it would play the intro movies
fine. But once the movies finish it seems to just freeze right up.
Help!

I received an e-mail from someone who was able to successfully run the
Cybermaster software on Windows XP. His tips are as follows:
"1. Instead of using the Quicktime that comes with Cybermaster, I went to
apple.com and downloaded the latest. It seems to work better with XP. When
I used the old Quicktime, I saw the same failure mode that you described.
2. Once I installed the program, I right-clicked on the icon for the
executable, picked properties, selected the last tab (can't remember the
name) and chose "Windows 98" compatibility mode. Not sure if this is
necessary, but I don't think it hurts.
These settings also worked with the Mission expansion set (8450).
Hope this helps!"

I found changing the Registry settings unnecessary, but you DO need to run it in
Windows95 Compatibility mode, as described elsewhere on this newsgroup.
I have also found, and Lego Tech Support have confirmed, that Cybermaster will
only run with QuickTime 6.4 or earlier; it is NOT compatible with version 7 (and
up).

If you get error 8065006D at start-up, that means you have an incompatible
QuickTime environment. Cybermaster will only run with Quicktime 6.4 or lower.
It;'s NOT compatible with version 7 onwards. Lego Technical Support have
confirmed this to me recently (May 2008).

Lego Technical Support confirm that Windows95 Compatibility mode IS required.
HTH!
