Neverwinter Nights Crash
« on: August 18, 2012, 06:21:06 pm »


                Hello, everyone. I am having issues starting up neverwinter nights with Windows XP Service Pack 3 The game will crash before it even gets to the opening "credits." I am frustrated because I can not find a single person other than myself with this problem after days of scouring the internet. I hope somebody can shed some light on what to do, because running compatibility modes and running the game as an administrator has done nothing to help. I can honestly find no reason that this game should not run. 

My system specs are as follows:

               You should edit your post and remove your Windows XP Serial Number.

FP!

               Aha, good catch.   '<img'>

Still, though, that doesn't help me much.    '<_<'

               I have read that the Catalyst Control Center itself can cause problems, but disabling that has not had an effect. I could look into getting older drivers/different drivers to see if that will help.

Thank you for that, and again for pointing out a fool's mistake.   '<img'>
