Yep, one simple tip: you don't need to actually take a photo of you and your mobile to show that you have a game. You could have also reversed your picture to have the title of the game written correctly.

How modern? I never had any issues on my XP machine, but I've yet to try it on my newer Vista PC.

it's a macbook running windows 7, actually I'm shocked because the installer is working.. albeit very slowly.. I'll see if it runs alright.

What about commonly-known problem of shooting targets never appearing on faster CPU?

I occasionally had that issue on the Pentium2 I first tried it on when I got the game originally :\ Eventually, I figured out a sequence of best guesses.

Its my fav game so I will try to write sth. for you :)
First and most important – check CPU Grabber software – this game has some issues with newer computers. You need to slow it down in order to play some parts of the game (some important parts – you my not be able to finish that game without slowing down your CPU). I was using CPU Grabber and I slow down my comp to 10%. you can check if you are on the right speed in Shooting Range – if enemies appear normally (you do not need to wait 5 or 10 minutes for them) than you should be ok.
tip 1: finish game at least 5 times and try to act different each time. Also some characters are always android - some are random in each game session.
tip 2: DO NOT TAKE PRECONFIG TALKING PATTERN - switch it off and always have a choice while talking. That way you will be able to research each person properly
tip 3: watch movie and read a book before playing - it take so many stuff from those you will feel much better to play it after checking those two before.
tip 3: it is adventure game but you need to act fast in some places!
tip 4: check on internet how to do a proper Voight-Kampff test - its important
tip 5: listen to everything, check every picture properly, check every crime scene properly. Its a detective game, not point'n'click - you are gathering proofs, not items (except maybe 3 times in-game). And remember – to some clues you can access in few ways!
tip 6: Once again – Read book, watch movie (Directors cut I think will be best for this game – newest edition was not created since last year and this game is much older), play this game at least 5 times, always decide etc. This game has o many endings that its worth it :)
Have a good game – hope that helps

whoa, that's a pretty hardcore list! Thanks, I don't have access to the book right now, I'm actually reading Snow Crash right now, but I do have access to the movie and will give that a watch and I'll read up on the book on wikipedia.

thats a pitty - some situation in game are taken directly from book or movie so better to know both stuff :)
I hope my list helps - if I remember correctly a good VC test sequence was sth like that
1 1 2 2 3 3 1 2 3 3
but better search online for it -> also do not remember callibration sequence :)
EDIT
I've check it -> two time red button for calibration, and then like I wrote above:
1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3

This made me think of Headcrash. If you haven't read it, I recommend it. I laughed so hard over that book.

Wishbone: This made me think of Headcrash. If you haven't read it, I recommend it. I laughed so hard over that book.
really, I haven't read a book in a few years, so jumping into snow crash is kind of overwhelming but at the same time it feels appropriate.
I really need to slow down, because I already have the diamond age at home waiting for me after snow crash.
I'll try to get a copy of blade runner if I can get it for cheap.

It ran fine on one of my PCs 2-3 years ago. Can't remember if I was running a ME/win2k dual boot or XP though on that build. Haven't played it in a while. Great game.
You might have to limit CPU cycles, though.
ME used to run stuff great. Vista also does surprisingly well. XP not so much, esp SP2.
