Welcome to board, Dave B!!!!
I'm answering your question here because the other thread is getting pretty long. I'll try to get you started in the right direction. Quote:

Hi Packrat, thanks for the information. I'm running XP and having
checked out the site you suggested it would appear that is where the fault lies. Once again thanks for pointing me in the right direction. As for me, I need to point myself in the direction of home! It's 10.15pm in Olde London Towne and I've been surfing all evening at work trying to sort this out. I'll let you know how I get on. After playing Dungeon Seige, which I enjoyed, it's good to play a RPG with some serious character development depth. Cheers for now, Dave. |

Welcome to the finest pub in all the Gael Serran, Dave B. Once you get your technical woes ironed out, the fun can really begin!
One early hint for you (that's not a spoiler, IMHO): when you can't get in a dungeon, castle, or crypt, look around for a lever on a wall. That will often take you to where you want to go.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Following Packrat's advice I downloaded the Virtualdub utility. Installation and amending the three "townmsk" files took less than five minutes and has cured the problem. The same Help page also mentioned that the game had a tendancy to crash under XP so I'll need to fix that also. However, in my case I've had two crashes, in over twelve hours play so I hadn't really taken that issue seriously yet. |

IŽll add my voice to the greater consensus lol.
Welcome to the board Dave B! Now to the crash issue. If you only have had 2 crashes in 12 hours of play I wouldnŽt worry. The crashes referred to in the tech thread follows a pattern. The game crashes whenever you try to talk, give an item, disarm chests or casting spells. Another is the game freezes then throws you out with an error message like: Quote:
