Fix for error 724

Nastymann · 04-11-2005, 03:33 PM

I kept getting an error when I was playing Baldur's Gate Tales of the Sword Coast. The number of the error was 724. At first I thought it was a corrupt file, so I played a save back to the point of the 724 error. Of course the same damn thing happened again. I changed the Video drivers to not avail.

I am running a dual boot system, win 98se and win 2000. So I rebooted into win 98se and loaded the game and copied the save file over from win 2000 pro. I am using Fat32 in both operating systems so I can do things like this. I ran the save that kept getting the error in win 2000 and had no problems running the game in win 98se. So I saved the progress in the game and rebooted into win 2000 pro. I moved the save over to the program and ran it. Now I have no problems running the game at all.

If you have problems with errors I would recommend loading Baldur's Gate in a win 98se system, get past the part where you are running into and error, take the save and move it into your win 2000 or XP system. The only caveat being you must be running FAT32 so win 98se can read the save you moved over.

I hope this can help someone, it has worked for me.

Thanks for the post.

Another alternative could be to try and change the compatibility in Windows XP to windows 98 or windows 95.

If he was using winXP yes, but he was using win2k.

It sounds like it was just a corrupt save file. I tend to back up my save games to a folder on another partition, so that if there are problems I can have a good one to go back to.

Morgeruat, as it turns out the save file was not corrupt because it worked in win 98se, but would not work in win 2000....go figure [img]smile.gif[/img]

ZFR, like Morgeruat says I am running win 2000 and win 98se in dual boot configuration....opps
