Question
I can't seem to start Nautilus. It gets about halfway through the first piece of dialogue and quits. I can't find a patch anywhere. I have windows XP and an ATI video card with catalyst driver. Any ideas?

Answer
I'm assuming that you have at least a Pent II with 64mb of ram if your running XP. If you do, make sure you have DirectX 8.0 (if you don't, go to windows website and download for free).

1. Uninstall the game completly
2. Shut down computer
3. restart and then disable any virus software
4. reinstall Nautilus

I couldn't find a patch for the game, so hopefully you just encountered a clitch when you installed Nautilus and these steps will take care of the problem. Good luck!
