This won't be a result of eXtreme Problems. If Todeswanderer succeeded in getting to Spire then his game can run under XP, at least somehow.

I fear another thing: It happens sometimes that W&W starts crashing almost immediately after loading a saved game file. The saved game file is unusable. Period.

If it is the case then you get the following picture:
- You can start W&W without problems,
- the game loads "without problems",
- after a few seconds, the game either hangs your computer or crashes. This happens even if you don't move. You can enter a town (it the game is saved at the town gate) but after leaving the town, the game crashes again. You cannot teleport away, the game crashes sooner. The end.

Therefore, a question: Is this the essence of the problem? If it is then I can recommend only one thing: restart from another saved game.
