When I built my 939 system 2 years ago I upgraded from my ever reliable ATI Radeon 9200 128 mb card to a very stable X800GTO 256 meg card.

It was at least 3 years since I played NWN1 and so I decided to install it on my new system. The game installed all the way to the opening cinematic screen and then crashed me back to my desktop. Long story short: NWN1 and the ATI 800 architecture do not get along. Even with patch updates from early last year the game was known by both then ATI and Bioware to conflict.

My issue was common.

I'd like to reinstall again but I can't find if this issue was resolved with later patches. Does anyone have a clue about this or can direct me otherwise?

Thanks.
