Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of The Mummy

Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of The Mummy

My solution to the black screen
So I had the same issue a lot of people are having: a black screen upon trying to boot this game up. I cut and pasted the ddraw.dll & d3d9.dll files to my desktop, went to the Compatibility tab in the properties for the Game.exe, checked the boxes for Run as Admin & Run in 640 x 480 mode, and also checked the option to run the game in Windows 7 compatibility mode. It's now running smoothly. If that changes, I'll post again. Hope this helps someone besides me.

I tried. That didn't work. I'll try in one of the earlier Windows compatibility modes.

I tried going back to earlier versions of Windows, even on way back as Windows 98 (since I think that's one of the Windows versions the game was originally compatible with). That didn't help.

select: Local Files
press: Verify integrity of game files
when its done
select: Betas
and select Fullscreen without DXWND

I went into the properties menu, and I'm not seeing local files.
did you right click on the game name from the library ?
dont right click the icon from the desktop
You didn't say from the library the first time...
Thanks. It worked.
nice job it worked :D thanks
I ensure that I'm running game.exe in windows XP SP3 compat mode. This seems to fix things on my end.
