hi all...i am enjoying the game, nicely.

But i got my first "crash", a lockup!

I was outside of town and had just got off a horse. i noted that i needed to level up two characters, but i did not do it outside of town. i went into the armory and sold and bought, then went to the magic store and joined the wizard guild. then i leveled my characters.

alas...when i clicked on the gate to leave town, the hourglass did its "forever thing", meaning, the game froze!

---probably i 'did too too much at once", probably i should have raised my two characters up the levels outside of town, THEN went inside and sold, then go back out, THEN go get the quest for the wizard.

I am running the game at a minitor resolution of 1028[?] by 700[?], as i have a 19" monitor. i have a good vid card. "true color".
I WINCE when i read somewhere that someone solved their lockup problems by running WW at 16-bit, "high color" at 640 X 460!!!!

perhaps the horse is a no no!
perhaps i should just not "do" so much at once. I DO have a fixed swap file and 356 ram...the game runs fine otherwise!

any suggestions or/and observations, please?!!

thanks...freestone
