ZHE: Thank YOU very much to point me to good direction.

1. on win10 i couldn't install game, so i dl-ed this version:
https://archive.org/download/golden-point-click-collection-vault/The%20Cameron%20Files%20-%20Pharaoh%27s%20Curse.zip
2. i use DXWnd 2.04.63
3. in DXWnd add profile for game
4. edit game profile:
- input: - cursor clipper - locked and direct input: emulate mouse relative movement
- directX: - filter - fast biliner 2x - full biliner filter
- tweaks: - input:MouseMoveByEvent

download an old dxwnd (like v2.04.69), then use the The Omega Stone: Riddle of the Sphinx 2 dxw here to fix the mouse problems:https://sourceforge.net/p/dxwnd/discussion/general/thread/fdcccccf/

win10:
- loads and in-game just fine, but...
* big trouble with mouse moving around (stuttering)

DXWnd does improve mouse a little, but still no good. dgVoodoo doesn't have mouse improvement options.

Guys, if you have a 64-bit OS and want to play the game, use otvdm/winevdm to install. It's faster than using Virtual Machine and swapping the files.

Run great on my xp system 32bit.used magicdisc to install. The two (ISOs) discs no problems used the nodlsc patch tried to run game but wouldn't run untill i used the config settings for the game to change display rendering from hardware to software. It's like the old Myst games. And anyone who's has played the adventure company games will know what to expect collect keys unlock doors solve puzzles talk to characters has speach ,sound effects , and music. I like the Egyptian Themes will give it a go for a while.mummy
