Neverwinter Nights 1.69 won't load new/saved games

[Legacy_Bmaninbama]

               I successfully installed v 1.69 on my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive, 500GB (G:) and it loads to the menu screen.  I can even start a new game and do the character creation.  However, when I actually start the new game or try to load a saved game, it won't load.  Two loading screens appear, one after another, and the first one loads fine.  The second one, however, loads about 3/4 and then stalls everytime.  Anybody have any ideas as to why and how I can fix it?  Thanks.

               sounds like it's when the OC movie starts, have you tried hit ESC. When I run NWN on my windows 7 laptop, i won't either get the movie but i hear the sound while i am seeing an area loadscreen. when i press ESC i get into the game and skip the "movie".

               I tried hitting ESC, but nothing happens.  It's stuck on the load screen at 3/4 loaded and the music and sound doesn't change.  Thanks for the suggestion, though.

               It might be worth trying to load it with the sound disabled.  Quite a few people have had issues with RealTek soundcards, and at the least it would rule out another possible thing.
 Also, doublecheck that you're in Win XP SP 3 emulation mode as well, since that can sometimes cause odd behaviour in game when it tries to perform certain tasks if it's running in native win 7 mode, when it runs at all.

               Just one module or all of them? Maybe it's just that the module is hosed.

Try running the nwn's configuration utility and see what happens.

Start NWN.exe > Click "Configure" > Click "Change" > Click "Scan" let the utility do it's thing then ajust the resolution to the one you like and try NWN play.
