I think I must be very dim!
Took advice offered elsewhere on these pages and installed W+W in WinXP. Copied a savegame to it,went OK. Had problem well documented on this board,entered Ishan N'ha,couldn't enter some guilds and couldn't leave town.
Downloaded Virtualdub and extracted to a folder in harddrive I called virtualdub.Copied and pasted townmask1.avi into virtualdub folder,told it to "save as old format avi".
Got a message saying "D:\virtualdub\townmsk.1avi already exists. Do you want to replace it?"
Said yes.
Got message saying "AVIOutput. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".
Does anyone know what is going on?
It's enough to make a grown man cry!!!
I won't give up though, I'm convinced that if I keep at it,the good people on this board will get it working in the end.
Apologies if this is a stupid question,I have much to learn!!
As always, I'm learning it the hard way, and only through the good offices of those kind enough to help. Thanks to all for your patience with a computer illiterate!
