bsnake35: I am trying to run it on my laptop.

It is an ASUS G73J. Has an i7 7200 M with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5780 with 1GB of VRAM and 8GB of system RAM.

I haven't tried it on my desktop yet because I would rather play it on my laptop than desktop.

One thing I have noticed that I didn't before is that my computer seems to think anox.exe is an installer because it asks me if I want to allow anox.exe access to make changes to my computer from the User Account Control.

I have checked on ASUS' website, and they don't have any updated graphics card drivers and if I try the ones from amd.com, they eff up my computer to make it unusable.

I also tried the Windows 98 compatibility mode and that still crashes.

Maybe it has something to do with my User Account Control Settings??

Still don't know where to go from here. Any other ideas would be appreciated! :)

Edit: Also, it has Windows 7 Premium 64-bit with SP1.

fr33kSh0w2012: UAC is EVIL turn it off! and make another folder called Program files without the "(x86)" at the end of it install your game there and not in the "(x86)" version.
I turned UAC off, reinstalled the game on the D drive, where all the rest of my games are (even though it wasn't installed in the x86 folder in the first place), and tried every single compatibility option avaliable and it still crashes. I am about to give up. It's disappointing, I really wanted to play Anachronox again...

Yeah IF you can get it to work and that's a BIG IF! Glidos is better but it only works with Dos games

Looks Like you are gonna have to install virtual pc and an earlier version of windows I guess.

nGlide works best for windows games.
