I bought W&W a long time ago and never got around to finishing it (and may have even been a member on these boards once upon a time). Well, I recently decided I was going to replay the game so I installed it on the computer I bought about a year ago (Pentium 4 with WindowsME).

Anyway, I seem to be having some technical problems and was hoping someone could help:

Every so often when I enter a town or save a game (when the cursor changes to the hourglass) the game will freeze up -- I hear a little ding in the background and then can't do anything. Well, it doesn't happen frequently, so I've been ignoring it.

The problem is that I cannot get into the Stout Mines at all because of it. Every time I try to go in, I'll head over to the window with writ in hand, the Stout will say "Hullo" and then the game will freeze up.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks. btw I'm running the game with the patch. Thanks.
