I've also just discovered my wired Xbox 360 controller works with the game, and makes it a lot easier to control :) Okay, I found out that if you set compatibility mode to Windows 98/Me it works fine… I’ve also just discovered my wired Xbox 360 controller works with the game, and makes it a lot easier to control :)

I'm running it on Windows 7 Home Premium on a PC with a bog-standard on-board High Definition Audio Device. I've tried running it in compatibility mode and as an admin but no joy. I might try running it under a VMware XP virtual machine, but then I might not bother, because no matter how much I'd love to play this game again, whilst testing it out I just recalled why I never got very far with it before... the controls are bloomin' awful. I always wished they had just made it a point and click. To be honest, I'd love it if they remade it as a proper 3D third-person version that works the same way as Tim Schafer's other classic, Psychonauts. But there's probably about as much chance of that happening as there being a Psychonauts II. I have the same problem with sound… after a minute or so it goes mute or stutters.

It'll work just fine or a few minutes, and then something will set it off and it'll either endlessly repeat 1 second of sound like a bad remix or go mute all together. Have you had this problem?
