Ok, I have frustrating issue I would love to get some feedback on. First my system:
Athelon 700 w/384 MB Ram
GeF3 TI200 w/64MB Ram
Win98 SE
SB PCI128
Iomega 32x4x8 CD-RW (only cd drive)
MS Optical wheel mouse

On a very random basis, but enough to be a serious pain in the arse, when I select a game to load, the comp will lock hard at the "unpacking module..." point. I had a very hard time installing the game and eventually had to copy the install 1 & 2 CD's to my hard drive to get it to complete the install. Tech support, via phone, said the install issue was possibly outdated bios on the CD-RW and suggested I reflash it. I did, but after I had installed from the hard drive. I am wondering if this could still be my issue as you must have the Plat CD inserted to play. Last night I had to reboot 6 times while trying to play in a multi-player game due to system locks.
Anyone have any suggestions...other than buy a new CD-Rom?

Also, I had to disable my Zone Alarm software, software based firewall, to even get the game to run. Even if playing solo off-line it seems to conflict with NWN and cause system lock ups.

Thanks
