Nwn and windows 7..need help

[Legacy_Empyre65]

               Here's another idea. Try a clean boot. These instructions tell how to do it in Windows XP, so it might work differently in Windows 7. Find msconfig.exe and make a shortcut on your desktop. In my Win XP computer, it is in C:\\WINDOWS\\PCHEALTH\\HELPCTR\\Binaries. Run it, choose Selective Startup, and uncheck everything except System Services. Next, go to the Services tab, check Hide All Microsoft Services, and then click Disable All. Click OK and let it reboot the computer. After playing NWN, to go back to normal, run msconfig again, choose Normal Startup, click OK, and let it reboot.

It will be a hassle to have to do that every time you play NWN, but if it works, it's better than not getting to play such a great game at all.

               I just wanted to say that nwn installs fine but at the end of installing it i get that defender alert about
program:win32/powerregscheduler and it asks me what to do.If i allow it nwn plays and it eventually slows my pc down to a crawl,but if i block it i cant play at all...so its something nwn is putting into my pc....im on windows 7 64bit with 8gigs of ram.I sure dont wanna give up on nwn aint there something i can do without taking the risk of damaging my pc?

               Did you download the installer (like from GoG)? If you downloaded it, maybe you got a corrupted download. Maybe re-downloading it would fix it.

               I would recommend doing a search for "powerreg scheduler.exe". Some of the salient points from the results include:

1) The legitimate form of this program is an attempt to manage delayed product registration. The program design does not conform well with modern Windows security protocols.

2) There are malicious spyware variants.

3) You might be able to avoid installation of the program simply by not postponing product registration.

4) Tips are available for removal.
