Some can be frustrating, but that's the point of adventure games Probably that's the reason why adventure games are so unpopular. Being frustrating shouldn't even be remotely considered in any game, be it adventure, action, racing, strategy or some obscure card game. In games one is not rewarded af...

Here are two things you can do in vista about that problem. :) You can either right-click on scummvm shortcut, go to compatibility and tick run as administrator, or you can just install the game to another folder, different than /program files :). It's protected by default in vista, so you'd better ...
