Trust me, XP can run without a page file. But I dont have enough RAM to run it efficiently without cleaning out a lot more crap, and all the crap I havent cleaned out yet is internal to windows and a pain to get to. Sometimes I think back to the days of DOS, when the sysadmin could actualy control things, and I wonder why windows ever took off.

But I agree its a bad idea to remove it, but its about the only thing I havent tried yet. Its weird that NWN is the only thing to have any problems whatsoever, I have other games that are more demanding and none of them crash, ever.

Crashes happen in single player as well, its a geforce4 ti4200 running on a Nforce2 (which of course has the AC97 soundset known for causing this, but I have the right drivers for it so it shouldn't be a problem) and theres nothing major been installed since NWN other than Planescape and a few old games that windows dosent know about.

I'll try defragging before I bugger about with major things though. Should take about a week.
