Lol, I guess the thread was a bit confusing... The error messages stopped appearing when I logged in as administrator. The spells are working and it was the rat pie that froze the game (dropped it and let Rethpian starve...) I still can´t disarm chests though! Sometimes it works but most often I get a system sound, the game freezes and I get bumped to windows, lockpicks are working though! I tried to bust back my diretx to 7.0a but that didn´t work (and I need dx8 for M&MIX and Max Payne)! As for cancelling processes, i shut down my antivirus, firewall, cdrw sofware and scheduler. But then there´s still 20+ processes on and I have no idea which to shutdown (got win2k)! I´ll try and apply the patch ,my rogue to be assassin won´t like it though (lol), but then again I think he feels he´s getting discriminated by not being able to disarm locks or chests... Any other tips will be extremely appreciated!! Can´t get enough of this game!
