Can I purchase The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition in stores?

The game is only available for digital distribution via Steam for PC, and Xbox Live for Xbox 360. It is not available on disc.

Do the digital versions of the games from Steam or Direct2Drive include all the updates?

Yes, all the older titles being released through Steam and Direct2Drive include all available patches or updates. Please note that, unless indicated, they do not include any expansions or plugins.

How do I switch between the new and old art styles in the game?

Press F10.

I get a message about needing .NET to run the game.

The older SCUMM titles and The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition require .NET to run properly. Visit the Microsoft site to download and install the latest version of .NET.

I have to select menu items in The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition by putting the mouse cursor UNDER the selection, not on it. I am running the game on Vista in fullscreen mode.

Try the following to correct this issue:

1. Navigate to the installation folder for The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition (under Steam, this would default to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\the secret of monkey island special edition)
2. Right-click the MISE.exe executable and select Properties
3. Click on the Compatibility tab
4. Ensure Disable visual themes is checked
5. Click OK

You should now be able to click menu and dialog selections properly when you run the game.

NOTE: If you use Alt-Enter to switch to windowed mode and then switch back to fullscreen, the issue may re-occur until you exit the game and restart.

How do I update the language?

Please do the following:

To reset the language, delete the settings.ini file located in the folder mentioned below for your specific operating system version. When you restart the game it will prompt you to select your language.

• For Windows XP users: C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\LucasArts\The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition\
• For Vista users: C:\Users\\AppData(make sure that you set your preferences to show hidden folders)\Roaming\LucasArts\The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition\

Please note that while subtitles are available in other languages, this won't change the spoken dialogue.

The alignment of the cursor does not match up to the onscreen text or mouse location on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Here is the workaround for this issue:

1. Make sure the game is not running.
2. Go to the MISE1 installation location (e.g. c:\Program Files\LucasArts\The Secret Of Monkey Island Special Edition).
3. Right click on the executable for MISE - "Monkey1.exe".
4. Select Properties.
5. Click the Compatibility tab.
6. Make sure that Disable visual themes is checked.
7. Press the OK button.
8. Start the game.

The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition and Monkey Island Special Edition 2: LeChuck's Revenge both start in windowed mode.

Here is the workaround for this issue:

1. Start the game and wait for it to finish loading first.
2. Press Alt-Enter on your keyboard.
