Question

Don't know if anyone here can help...

I am having problems specificaly with Baldur's Gate, Tales, and now Icewind Dale. My problem is the game just keeps crashing to the desktop. It runs fine for up to 10 minutes or so, and then BAM!...the game crashes. It has been going on for a while now. I have e-mailed Interplay's Tech Support numerous times, and what they suggested to do has not worked.

I have updated all my hardware drivers, flashed and changed settings in my BIOS, updated my DirectX driver, and many other things. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would be very greatful.

Thanks,
Ryan

What's your hardware stats? Voodoo3 cards do this if your RAM is substandard (generic - even if it says PC100 or whatever, buy namebrand) especially on Athlon systems. There are many other such problems with various pieces of hardware, but I don't want to list the ones that don't apply to you. I only list the voodoo3 one, because it happened to me personally.

Well, I'm off to go look for myself. If I should get back before I return, tell myself to wait for me.
