HOld all four keys down together, then release the w only.
the scn.data path almost positively needs to be c drive. Again, you can either change the scn to reflect your drive Letter (e.g. I, or J, or whatever) in place of the c:\trespas\data to ?:\trespas\data
(you may get away without changing the drive letter; the engine may just assume local drive, and ignor the letter. So long as the remaining datapath is correct)
Or, you can go into the device manager of windows, double click on hard drive icon, select settings and manually change drive letter. However, certain setups don't allow this change. You're really better off just changing the tc.scn.

I cant get that to work even in the retail game let alone this demo converted fan level @#*&%$@*#^!!!
What does it actually look like when the level skip is enabled ?
Do I need cnt+F11 1st ?
You say shift+Ctrl+Q+W-W the instructions say Ctrl+shift+Q+W-W ...
Are you sure you are at the propper start menu? I mean the one that comes up as soon as the start up video clip has finished.
Or perhaps your not holding the keys down long enough after you've released the W.

Ok, I got it to load - thanks for being patirent with me. But...
All I get is a black screen with a white triangle in the upper left corner. reloading the level gets me the same thing.
What do you make of that ?
That pathway is so wrong, it's not even close. The trespass demo installs C:\trespass or in your case, it'd be D:\trespass. You must have moved this yourself, since that isn't the default directory.
Corrected, it'd be D:\trespas
You have to move the trespas demo folder to where it belongs, or it isn't going to work. I can't alter the scn file that much to match that pathway.
So, take the trespas folder out of the games/demo folder and place it in the main window, alongside of folders such as windows, program files, etc.
Afterwards, it should work, even without altering the scn again. Though if it doesn't, that C:\trespas line inside of the scn file, must be changed to; D:\trespas
I played TC in the Demo although I hadn't installed the Demo in the default directory and I didn't edit the TC.SCN file. I did copy some TPAs from the retail to the Demo data directory though (even so, some audios were missing, guess they're only available in the retail).
I'm sorry you're having so much trouble, though if you had left the trespasser demo in its default position, it would have been simple. The datapaths provided were set up for simplicity since the demo's default locale is C:\trespass. It'd be very difficult to predict that a player would be moving these folders elsewhere.
Well, I'm glad you finally got it. Nice workaround --
Can't do much about the framerate, beyond playing in hardware mode and if necessary, turn down quality to mid-point and screen resolution to either 640x480 or 800x600. Unfortunately, the one item that we haven't conquered yet is the proper formatting of the scn files.
You ain´t seen nothing yet! Wait for my level, its kinda shorty but sure can get slow sometimes. I recommend AGP graphics card with 64mb memory. If you turn the quality setting lower that highest all the "magic" disappears
The TresCom Level runs wery good on my machine, so does the jungle.
BTW: why raptors sometimes run of the level if they hit someting?
