I keep getting these bluescreens.

[wcip]Angel · 05-26-2002, 06:08 AM

There's a warnings.txt-file in the MW-directory. It reads:
Unknown @. _ID in ConstructObject.
Errors were encountered loading from file '3tdcity0000.ess'.
Texture "Textures\compass.tga" count 4.
Texture "Textures\_land_default.tga" count 3.
Texture "Textures\menu_thick_border_bottom_right_corner.dds" count 2.

What used to happen was that I would get a bluescreen or I would be tossed out to windows, and I would have to reboot/restart the game.

I long for those days.

2 days ago, I discovered that the quick and autosave-files became corrupt, and the game crashed when I tried to use them. Learning from my mistakes, I started to use regular savegames.

Yesterday, I got another bluescreen, so I tried my regular savegame, as that shouldn't have been made corrupt, only the quicksave should have. It crashed.

Learning from my mistakes, I decided to save in 2 different save slots each time I made a save: One called "temp save" the other one something like "getting to ghostgate".. Today I got yet another bluescreen, and when I started the game "temp save" was gone, nowhere to be seen, and "getting to ghostgate" transferred me away from where I saved the game to some fort, the screen was filled with grey, I could barely move (meaning I moved my mouse, and 5 seconds later my character moved) I couldn't access the menu, I could hear the sounds.

I admit that Morrowind is quite addictive, but it's not that addictive , that I wanna finish the game in 1 sit-down without having the ability to save.

Without quick, auto and regular saves, there's not really much I can do.
I run Windows XP, and here are the bluescreens I have gotten so far:

1. Pagefault in non-paged area
2. Serial.sys
3. nv4_disp.dll
4. nv4_disp.dll infinite loop

I've conferred with some friends, and some of them say it's my geforce2 mx which is causing the problems. We've tried all patches and drivers. We've thrown things back and forwards in my bios, and none of it seems to work.

---
My latest effort was to change my DRAM from 100 to 133..
I did this 5 minutes ago, and haven't had the opportunity to see if this helped.

What follows are my screenshots of my specs:

I appreciate any advice.

Thank you.

I sometimes get Bluescreen and sometimes get kick out back to window and sometimes the computer even reboot itself while I was playing. strange huh?

Bluescreen usually mean something is wrong with your RAM. ever tried uninstall the game and reinstall it?

Also, you might wanna make a backup of your save game file.

I uninstalled the game. When I re-installed it, I didn't get to choose where to install it. It decided for me that my old directory would be the new place for the new installation of the game.. that's insane..

I loaded from a savegame that wasn't corrupt, made a new savegame (not overwriting an old one), exited, and deleted every savegame besides that new one... I think this might help, seeing as I had 3-4 "quiksaves" (why don't they spell it "quicksave"?) which is 2-3 more than normal..

hon, it sounds like something is really wrong with your install. not choosing where to put your installation reveals something is messed up in your registry.

i recommend a full uninstall, then getting a program like RegCleaner from MS or a second party freebie and cleaning your reg out thoroughly. dump out all your temp files and be prepared to start the game from scratch.

once game saves get corrupt, they can quickly corrupt your current maps and stuff, too. so tis not surprising that the problem escalated. the BG games did that for me, until i found some hints from the devs on what to do to clear it out.

(EDIT)
also, when you uninstall, remove the editor. ya wanna start with a clean slate here!

I removed everything. I even deleted the directory. There was no e:\games\MW , but at the re-installation, my computer found it appropriate to make my decisions for me.. Now if I could only get it to handle my stock-portfolio ...

------------
After re-installing the game, it has only crashed once (which I can live with) and my savegames work perfectly..
