Welcome to the boards, sagtattman. May the only other crashing you hear be your enemies swords glancing helplessly off your shields.

As for your problem... we need more info. Specifically...

... what operating system are you running? Service packs?

... what version of DirectX?

... what kind of video card? Are the drivers current?

... what were you doing during the night of the falling stars?

... have you defragged recently?

... have you turned off other nonessential background programs?

... have you tried or applied the patch?

That gives us a starting point to give you some ideas. Whatever the OS, W&W can run... we've seen it [img]smile.gif[/img]

Give more info back, and we'll get you going.

I would especially be interested in your OS and your swap file size. First of all run a defrag. Then shut down all applications that isn't needed (in win 98 that's everything but 'systray' and 'explorer'). Also check your swap size, it should at least be 300Mb. [img]smile.gif[/img] Then update both your video and your sound drivers.

Not my line of expertise, I am afraid. But I just thought I would use the opportunity to welcome you to the board in any case. [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

Keep us posted on how your game is going. We like it when someone else comes over to the dark side.... :D

Welcome to the board, sagtattman!!!

So what bug are you talking about? It would be interesting to know if a similar problem should arise. [img]smile.gif[/img] I'm glad your game is working fine. Win 98 is the best OS to play W&W on. Even I heve that at the moment, at least until my Windows XP CD is returning from Microsoft... You pay for another license and Microsoft still locks your computer when you try to update. :rolleyes: Ah well I'm getting a new CD and I don't have to pay a thing... :D

thanks again everybody it good to be able to chat again .i thought i was going a bit nuts trying to get on to the forum and i thought somethingwas wrong with my system cause i couldnt get on here for a while .sorry to here about all the hassles you have had ,glad to see it got sorted. willowIX i dont know what bug it was but i stated to remove each program and download one by one until i could at least run my scan disc and then my defrag the last thing i deleted was win 32 dont know where it came from but it took out moe money maker and freed up the whole system im pretty new to all this computer stuff so i dont know if that means any thing to you. im having fun with wizards but is there any protection from the poision that im getting hit with in the snake temple or do ihave to keep buying cure potion if any one can it would be great thanks sagtattman
