<font color="cyan">Ok, so I usually play NWN on my desktop but recently decided to try it on my laptop, but when I started up it said

"Processor not big enough" or something of that ilk.

This is weird cos my laptop specs are : 2.66 P4, 64mb Nvdia Graphics card, 512mb of Ram.

it plays fine though, very fast. I checked my PC and my processor is still running at 2.66ghz.

Any ideas?</font>

Thers a bug in the NWN autodetector wherby CPUs over 2.4Ghz are mis-read with a negative speed (its to do with someone putting the numbers into a signed int32 and not doing any rangechecking, so it just rolls over). It has no effect on the game itself, its just the config program that is confused.
