can't play Icewind Dale at all - Page 2

Have you tried running the setup directly from the CD? The install program can get confused but the setup might work if run directly.

IIRC = If I remember correctly

The tech support phone number is 1-(949)-553-6678 M thru Th from 8 am to 5:45 Pm PST and Fri from 8 am to 4:45 pm PST.

The uninstall wizard will NOT uninstall folders or files that you have added within the main IWD installation folder. Things like Dalekeeper, Custom portrait files and folders, etc. If those "remnants" of the game still remain the uninstall routine may leave the original installation folder intact and as a result, the computer will still show a path to the folder. This could confuse the installation wizard when you try to reinstall - making it believe that IWD is STILL installed. (I will concede to a certain amount of uncertainty about this as I am NOT a registry expert). Just something to make sure of.

LOL No problem about N'Awlins .... you get used to it after a while. [img]smile.gif[/img]

EDIT: Well it looks like this additinal information was NOT needed. Glad you got the problem solved. [img]smile.gif[/img] Sorry this last info was late.

This is for Micah Foehammer, aka Lord Ao---THANKS. AND-----The dialect I grew up speaking isn't too different from the New Orleans Dialect/s. I lived in New Orleans in 1972-73, just before the mass building projects started---when the Cafe du Monde was a nice quiet cafe.

Ravincraven ..... you're entirely welcome. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Talk about strange but polar opposites - i lived in seattle until '75 then moved down to New Orleans. Almost close enough to your move that we probably passed on the freeways. lol

Cafe du Monde - a quiet cafe???? *sigh* no longer I am afraid
