I started plaing martian memorandum and all was well.
But ..... when I reloaded a save game the frames started flashing through on the comm-link and in conversation that did not let me read what was said.
Example: Use com link for topic. In fractions of a second there is a reply and then the com-link topic list is back up. There was no time to actually read the information sent on the link.
I'm getting the same problem when I ask questions of different people. Start with question list. Pick a topic. There is a reply - but the screen flashes back to the qustion topics so fast that I never get to read what was actually said to Tex.
This bug is making the game unplayable and I would appreciate any help.

I have the exact same problem. So far I haven't found any solution, and since there's no guarantee it will not happen again if I reinstall the game and begin a new play, I just stopped playing Martian Memorandum until someone can provide a fix for this.

There is a way to "half fix" this. When The Main Titles appear right after starting a game, press a button on the keyboard to skip them as opposed to clicking with the mouse. you can tell if you're ok or not based on the intro paragraph on the "notebook screen". if it zips by then you need to restart, but if it waits for a click or press its ok. it also seems its fine if you click to skip the titles with a click AFTER the Martian memorandum logo fades out. However, this still doesn't solve a problem I'm having, which is that I cannot "offer" anything to anyone because the "ask about" and "end" buttons still come up automatically. I don't know what to do with those.

I had a very similar problem and the solution was to press left CTRL (or ALT, I don't remember). It seems like sometimes the game "thinks" a button is pressed when it's not.

I got the same problem and here is what worked for me:
right click on icon, go to properties, compatibility.
check Run this program in compatibility mode for windows xp
run in 256 colors
AND: Disable visual themes.
run this program as administrator
IN addition I also went directly to the graphics setup for this game (go to start button, programs, gog, texMurphy 1 and 2, Martian Memorandum, graphic setup and select didgital 3D
I hope it works for others too, if not, play around with the settings in the compatibility tab
