I've been happily playing Petz 4 for several weeks now, (downloaded from a third party) but just recently, I seem to be coming across a few issues that I feel may all be connected, and would appreciate some help:
-When loading, I'm given the notification that 'Petz 4 could not find the IBM ViaVoice software'
-I'm prompted to enter a product activation key, as if it is my first time playing the game, despite having played every day for a couple of weeks
-Play scenes appear to reset each time I open, with default toys and pictures in frames
-Petz don't seem to be aging. (I have a kitten I'm naturally raising, and according to his PetzA brain slider, his age 7 today-but he was also 7 yesterday, so he seems to have been stuck with his mother for an unusually long time.
-When naming a new puppy, I noticed that my name wasn't on the birth certificate, was instead 'unknown'
I'd be very grateful for some advice-particularly with the ageing issue, and the resetting playscenes, since those are the most frustrating for me at the moment.

The voice software prompt is normal as it used to be an optional install with the Petz games but the key is new. There are many different installation of Petz 4 online so I suggest you install a new one and move all your adopted Petz, hexed breeds, custom toys, clothing, textures and play scenes over to the new installation.

Have you tried running the game as administrator? I had similar issues that this fixed

Have you tried running the game as administrator? I had similar issues that this fixed I've given it a go for the past couple of days, and it seems to have worked! Ageing seems normal, and the product key prompt didn't appear when I checked this morning. Thank you for your help!
