Argh...Everything was going fine...until i tried to load my game (right from the opening screen). I clicked "Load Game" then the screen went dark and opened up to my Windows Xp saying "An Assertion failed in InfScreenLoad.cpp at line number 1592"...same thing with IWD1 except its line 1944...someone help me...

You might consider defragging your hard drives. If that doesn't help, or your drives are not fragmented, reinstall the game on top of itself. Something similar happens to me under a different (I would think) circumstance-- I dual-boot Win98 and Win2K, the game is installed to the same place under both systems, but if I play it under Win98, then boot into Win2K and attempt to play, I get an assertion error (I don't even get the to the load screen, this is when I click the shortcut). It also happens in reverse (if I play under Win2K, then boot into 98 and attempt to play).

I just reinstall IWD2 over itself (under whichever OS version), and then it's fine. Don't know why it even happens (imo it shouldn't since both OSes are installed to FAT32--it would appear that some part of the game is easily corruptible), but defragging and/or reinstalling works for me. Hope it helps you.
