Hi again, Coach! You are probably hoping this is Rick coming back with your diagnosis, sorry to disappoint you, but just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you what a wonderful Warlock/Wizard Rick is and just his diagnostic alone will most likely help to solve the problems, whatever they are. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
Anyway, I, along with lots of others, are cheering for you! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/cheer.gif
Hope you let us in on your adventures once the game problems are fixed.
Stay close!

FYI for everyone - Coach's save game was just fine. We'll need to explore other possibilities.

Coach,

1) Try running ScanDisk on you hard drive (Start|Programs|Accessories|System Tools|ScanDisk) to see if you have some directory or file problems.

2) Ensure you have plenty of free space on the drive continaing the game files.

3) Try installing to a completely new folder (or disk partition if you have one) in case some of the non-removed files from the previous installation are the culprits.

Anyone else?

Yes, actually I have one...but I hesitate to suggest it.

ONLY do this as a last resort.

1. First, uninstall Wizards&Warriors completely.
2. Go to My Computer, click on C:, then Program Files, and delete the Activision folder.
3. Empty Recycle Bin.

(take a deep breath)

4. Click on Start, then Run. In the Run box, type the following: regedit
5. When the Registry Editor comes up, click on Edit, then Find, from the Menu Bar.
6. Type in "Activision" in the box and click on "Find Next".
7. DELETE every folder (key) that refers to Activision.
8. When it finishes, repeat steps 5-7, substituting "WizardsWarriors" (just to be on the safe side).
9. Close the Registry Editor.
10. Reboot the machine.

11. Reinstall Wizards and Warriors...full game.

There are no guarantees that this will work...but it's the next best thing to reformatting. WORD OF WARNING: never edit your Registry, folks, unless you know what you're doing!

Saz: what if he has other Activision games? Wouldn't they be affected by the registry modifications?

Just a thought.

Yikes, yes he would, Ryanamur. Thanks for pointing that out.
