I tried to look for help through Google but to no avail. I got the Retail version of Myst 10th Anniversary Edition which comes with Myst Masterpiece Edition, Riven, and Exile.

Anyway, some animations will not work in Myst Masterpiece Edition. Such as the projector. By default the number is set to 64. There's a pool of stagnant water there.
When I hit the button, I'm not seeing any animations of the water disappearing, nor is the water animated.
The same goes for the other two settings, and the one from the note.

The stair bookcase in the Library doesn't animate either. When I hit the painting, the thing just opens.
I'm running the game in Compatibility mode. Tried everything, but nothing's making the animation work. When running in Windows 98 compatibility, I cannot save my game.

I had to install the version of QuickTime that the CD had (uninstalled the previous version). Had the latest QuickTime you can get, but with it I wasn't seeing anything. Just a blank screen.

Try running the game in compatibility mode with XP and as an administrator, then run it at 256 colors and 640 x 480 mode now see how that works.

Hope that helps,
