Well, for some reason when I try to open the game it crashes just before the screen where I get to select 'Load', IE: the opening ads go by (I hit left mouse button through them) then I am left in the black with the little gloved hand just looming around the screen. My monitor light will start to blink as I try to get Task Manager to let me end the program so that I can get back to mydesktop. Its a struggle. I am running XPpro on a Dell 4500 - a new system that has worked fine up until yesterday. I did download a patch from Microsoft for the OS, and IE 6, but that shouldn't have caused this problem. I also see that my OS is maxed out while trying to run NWN... 100%. I run very large programs on the system without problems - NWN has run fine also in the past. Any ideas????
