Issues fixed

Adding compatibility for modern Windows

If the game refuses to play or it does not allow names to be entered at character selection, try this fix:

Setting up compatibility settings[citation needed]
  1. Right click on the Clue.exe file (located in the installation folder) and select "Properties".
  2. Go to the "Compatibility" tab and enable Compatibility Mode (set it to "Windows 98/ Windows ME"), "Run in 640x480 resolution", and "Run this program as an administrator".
  3. Run the Clue.exe file to play the game.
