Hey all, I'm wondering if anyone on IW is familiar with the problems I'm having. I can't seem to find any solutions to these bizzare issues, so I'm hoping against hope that one of you has run up against it yourselves and figured out a solution.

I just bought a 3-in-1 IWD box set off Amazon, consisting of a DVD of IWD, a DVD of HoW, and a DVD of IWD2. I'm attempting to play IWD, but after a flawless playthrough of the prologue, the game crashed when attempting to play the cinematic to begin chapter 1. Now I can't start the game back up due to an "assertion error" at "line 2390", whatever that means. A google search indicated that this is a thing that a lot of vista users get, and nobody seemed to have any suggestions other than the routine "clean your disk, patch your game, etc.", none of which has helped.

I patched with the official IWD patch, no luck. I can't install the HoW or Trials of the Luremaster patches because it says that HoW isn't installed, even though it is.

Any ideas, guys? Thanks in advance.
