[NWN] Help getting NWN to work

[Oni]

I have just put together a new computer, and everything seens to be working well. I installed NWN however whenever I try to play the game it goes to a balck screen after the eye logo and locks, the computer completely freezes. I can go into the toolset and that seems to run fine. I'm running a Athlon XP 1800, 640 mb ram, Geforce 4 ti 4200, Win 98se. I've updated both the drivers and tried the most recent patch for the game, but the error remains. Does anyone know what I might try to get the game working properly?

Thanks for the help!

Try dropping your machine down to 512MB of RAM or upgrading to WinXP. Win98 doesn't handle anything over 512 very well. I had a very similar problem with MadOnions 3DMark benchmark program. Dropping from my 768MB of RAM to 512MB worked like a charm and actually enhanced performance on my machine.

I want to thank you TBoarder, that was precisely the problem. My girlfriends tells me to thankyou as well 'cause she's going to put that 128 stick in her machine. I would never have guessed that was the problem in a million years, Thanks again!!!

Happy to help, and I'm glad it worked. I hope you enjoy the game.
