Also, if you no longer have the CD-Rom, all is not lost - a friend of mine found it for download online, and it worked just the same.
: Hi!
: I wanted to let everyone know who is interested in a Clue reunion or just interested in playing Clue how we are able to do so, and how I was able to run the game.
: Firstly, I downloaded Game Ranger, which is a program that hosts a lot of the older CD-Rom games - www.gameranger.com and set up an account through there. You can add me as a friend by going to "Find User" and searching for my email: jennyrawks@aol.com.
: I am sure this will be different on each OS and each machine, but I will tell you my experience with running the game. I have an Acer laptop I bought new last summer which runs Windows 10. I installed the Clue CD-Rom onto it. At first, I had difficulty with running the game. I would get this error message: "the application was unable to start correctly (0x0000022). Click OK to close the application". I visited this forum: http://gamefixes.proboards.com/thread/3/clue-murder-boddy-mansion?page=2&scrollTo=773
: and followed the advice of Matt, the Administrator on how to enable "Direct Play." That fixed my issue and I was able to run the game. However, I am able to participate in games that other people host, but I cannot host other people. I don't know what the issue is, and have tried lots of things including enabling ports etc. on my router but nothing seemed to work. But in the meantime, I am able to play if someone else hosts. The only issue is, the game does crash often. Like, more often than I remember it crashing (which was a lot ;P). But for me it is worth it to play Clue again :O).
: In the likely event that you cannot get the game to run, and the above post doesn't help you, I would recommend posting your issue on that forum (and post here too so we know how it's going!)
: Let's make this happen!
: Jenny
