Cant play! Please help!

[Deleted]

Hello, this is my first thread so I hope it's all okay. I just got Babyz for my birthday, and I'm running it on my old windows vista that had been stuffed away. After much trying it finally installed! But now when I go to load the game, it says something about adopting a baby and when I click ok it stops responding! I left it for like 30 minutes to see if it would respond but no luck );
I was a huge fan of Petz back in the day and I assumed it worked the same where it generates a random baby for you to adopt? Is that not the case? Do I need to actually download the babies from somewhere to get the game to run?
Help would be super appreciated!

Update: after reinstalling and restarting it let's me enter the baby's and my name, but freezes again after that ):

That's what happened to me before I downloaded PetzA! It's a patch that adds a few other cool functionalities to the game. You can download it here: www.sherlocksoftware.org/page.php?id=7

Yes it does. I can't play my game without it. Also try running the game as an administrator. It's the only way it will work for me.

Same for me, I hope you get it sorted.
