Sadly, no reply there. Perhaps because I responded to a thread where someone else seems to have a similar problem, so nobody noticed it's new content/not resolved. I don't think it was for the other person either, though.

the CO8 fan fix, adds a different "FRONT END" (shortcut on desktop to a different start file), you do not start the game with the usual TOEE shortcut, but use the CO8 one instead, k?

Yup, I did all that, but it still doesn't work. I thought that was the cure and that my problem was probably a common one (thus the need for a different front end), but perhaps I have an abnormal problem. Maybe something about too new a version of .Net Framework or something.

Yes, yes it is. I decided to show my wife how D&D works with TOEE (when it was working for me, last year). She managed to beat the giant frogs, but got a TPK in the Moathouse fight. Bwahahaha! Now she thinks D&D is even dumber than before.

So, NWN is real time? Yucks. Is TOEE the only "real" D&D rules (turned based, same rules a print edition) version of D&D that will work (for other people, not me) these days?

If Icewind Dale is the real deal, I'm thinking I should just cut my losses and get a new game.

Agreed. A friend showed me DDO for about an hour. Fun, I suppose, but not D&D to me.
