can't play Icewind Dale at all

RAVINCRAVEN · 07-30-2003, 12:04 PM

Somehow, the Heart of Winter part of Icewind Dale is stuck on my puter and wont come out---not even using the Add/Remove application in my control panel. I havent been able to play the game in over a month now. I've done the MSN tech live and online deal and they couldn't help me either. Apparently my computer is confused as to the location or even the existance of Heart of Winter so when I go to reinstall the full game or even the IWD part of it, I wind up not being able to play the game. THIS SUCKS!!!!!

have you tried taking iwd:how out of your register?

Micah Foehammer · 07-30-2003, 12:09 PM

Definitely a registry problem. Contact TECH SUPPORT as, IIRC, they DO have a fix for registry issues with IWD/HOW.

BTW, welcome to the forums. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just for future reference, this should have been posted in the Icewind Dale forums. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Rikard_OHF is correct you have to remove it from the registry.

RAVINCRAVEN · 07-30-2003, 12:20 PM

I HAVE removed it from the Registry files---or so I thought. Maybe I didnt remove every vestage of it. And What is IIRC?

Welcome to Ironworks, Ravincravin!

It sounds like you do need to contact someone in tech support to help with removing the HoW registry entries as everyone mentioned. Good luck!

As Micah said, we do have a separate forum for IWD, but don't worry, things like this can be helpful to other members so we'll leave it here. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I tried the IWDHoW discussion but no one was there and I wanted a response as soon as possible. Havent had my IWD fix in awhile and I'm Jonesin' But----REGISTRY???? I thought I got it all when I did that the first time. Maybe there's something I missed?

Micah Foehammer · 07-30-2003, 12:36 PM

Actually I was suggesting that you CALL the tech support department. Response is a LOT better and a LOT faster. I know that I have seen this problem on the forums before - but unless you are VERY experienced and comfortable with altering your registry, I would talk to tech support.

BTW, when you uninstalled, did the folder where IWD was located TOTALLY disappear or were there remnants from portraits saved games etc??? You may have to manually delete those as well. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks Micah Foehammer fro N'yawlins-----I'm not sure about the "remnants" but I WAS using (DALE KEEPER) and I since have deleted it from my puter too.Thanks everyone. Does anybody know the #to Tech support? Is there an online deal for it? By the way---I'm originally from Charleston, SC and that's the way I grew up pronouncing New Orleans--sorry
