--- Comment #1 from Warren Feltmate wfeltmate@gmail.com 2009-03-29 09:07:50 --- I have this exact same problem and it still exists in 1.1.18 for me. It also affects both seasons(downloaded) of Sam & Max, as they all use the same method to activate.
I have tried entering the serial code, closing the window and running the game again, as others have said you need to do this.
