Firstly, I don't think that voice activation is enabled by default on most machines, so try using the keyboard and mouse to enter commands rather than shouting at the computer.

Secondly, you haven't told us what game it is. Find out and while you're at it, tell us what OS you are using. Then post both bits of information here or, better yet, search Google yourself to see if anyone else is having this problem

Have a nice day.

Are you talking about the game where you have to do a certain thing in order to complete something else?

If yes, what you are experiencing now is completely normal.
Thank you for posting and come again.

An OS is an operating system (XP, ME, 2000, etc.) Check the box that the game came in, and make sure that it is compatible with your computer. That's a start. Let us know what happens.....

It says windows Me/98/95/2000 and i have xp.
I already tried the compatability wizard but it still doesn't get any farther than the install shield.

There's your problem. Ordinarily, XP will work with games like that, becuase it is based off of 3 other Winodws operating systems, but that does not mean that all games will be that way..... You're out of luck man. You're better off just takin the game back. Sorry I couldn't help you more then I did. :( (From now on, make sure that windows XP is on the system requirements list)
