    I just downloaded it, thought it was quite a lot of fun, but the thing crashes just as I am about to leave the first town to head off to that mountain. I've had my dream thing, and at once after xp shuts it down. So I'm wondering, am I missing something here, is the demo longer? I could probably work around it, I just want to know if it's worth the effort.

    Oh, and general opinions on that game would be nice too, I feel a bit like buying it now...

    I played the demo, and I do recall there being something after leaving the first town. Maybe there is something wrong with your demo?

    And I have the full game, and I have to say that it is excellent - good, funny story line, and it isn't particularly short. The only problem for me is that the game quite often makes my computer crash, which gets irratating. I'm sure Extremist can also help you, he loves the game. :D

    That sounds to me like XP problem, not game problem.

    Answer these:
    - is your graphic card NVIDIA?
    - Is your sound card Sound Blaster (if not, is it onboard sound chip and which one)?
    - do you have EAX enabled?

    Anachronox never crashed on my PC by the way. Not even the demo.
