like in the beginning in the apt april goes into the Closet and that lil pop up screen that shows her closet, doesnt show up at al if AA is off then it does but not otherwise, any ideas here?

found out the problem , i was changign the preferance from without game folder NO the APPDATA folder here what i did, this was takin from another post.

It has to be expected that an old game like this is going to have problems with newer graphics hardware. I know first hand that nVidia 8000 series cards show texture/lighting corruption when rendering the 3D characters. Luckily software mode should work regardless of your video card and it's a relatively small decrease in visual quality versus hardware mode.

Here's how to run the game in software mode:

1) First we want the game to create the appropriate section in the config file for us. Find your Steam directory, this will C:\Program Files\Steam\ or C:\Steam\ for most people. Then goto \Steam\steamapps\common\the longest journey\.

2) Run Configure.exe that you'll find in the above directory. Change one of the options (doesn't matter which) and click ok - this will create the config file. You can open Configure.exe again and switch the option back if you want.

3) Now we need to get to the preferences file - this is kept in a user specific directory. As a shortcut to get to where it's stored enter %APPDATA%\The Longest Journey into a Run box (Start menu-> Run).

4) Open the Preferences.ini file with notepad (default).

5) Under the section that starts with [DirectX] add or change the following settings:
bool_IsDoubleBuffer=0
bool_UseHardware=0 (i however used 1 which made me be able to use AA and still have the pop up windows!)
