Yay!!! I reinstalled and that fixed the area transition lock-ups, but I still get some random assertion failures here and there.


Umm scratch that. The dreaded area transition lock-ups have returned. The last time I let one sit still for too long it closed out the program and gave a runtime error. Interplay gave directions to fix it but only on windows 98/95
I have XP.

"This will happen most often when the area file has copied over incorrectly from the CD. You will want to do the following:
  • Right click on "My Computer"
  • Select "Properties"
  • Click on the "Performance" tab
  • Click on "File System"
  • Clcik on the "CD-ROM" tab
  • Under "Optimize access pattern for" select "No Read Ahead"
  • Click on "OK"
  • Click on "CLOSE"
  • The system will want to restart for these changes to take effect. Click "YES" to restart.
  • Delete all area files contained within the C:\Program Files\Black Isle\Torment\CACHE\ folder.
  • Rerun the game
Can anyone tell me how to do that translated into XP directions?
