OK, Iīve seen a lot of unanswered messages including the following:
Quote:

*The instruction at 0041783d referenced Memory at 079a9758 The memory could not be read from

*Game crashes when talking to NPCīs

*Game rashes when using/giving objects
All these are trademarks of running W&W on win2k. I do the same and my gameīs now working like a charm, well almost that is but still better than it did when I was running win98!

*First download the compatibility update from Microsoft, thatīs here: Microsoft. I donīt know if it helps with this game but it certainly helps with other ones.

*Then log in as Administrator, recomendation for win2k is to always install games/programs when logged in as administrator!! Create a shortcut, either in startmenu or on desktop for c:\....\wizardswarriors\deep6.exe.

*Then rightclick the shortcut, select the compatibility tab, check "run in compatibility mode", then select either win98 or win95. I donīt know which is the better...

*And of course extract the townavi files with virtualdub!!! Links are found earlier in this post!

*The game ought to work now and youīll be able to talk, give, cast spells and open chests! BUT, the game can still freeze sometimes so SAVE often!!!

*NOTE! This post is for win2k only

ps. Wyv, Saz etc, feel free to remove the marquee tag if disturbing! Iīm sure thereīs a better tag for getting attention, but I donīt know them, lol...
