at certain points in the game, like clicking "done" in a shop or clicking "no" at the warning about jumping off ledges, the game locks up for a few moments then when it comes back there is no sound at all. if i quit and reload the sound will return, but the same error will occur sooner or later. i am running windows XP and more information can be given if needed. any way to fix this? 1,000 thank yous.

oh no it happens to you too. I happens to me ALL the time in Exile III. It takes forever to save, and then I have to restart my computer... As for fixing it, the only advice I can give is that don't do things so quickly if you are. Sorry that's all I got. :( -------------------- And everybody say....Yatta!

Yeah, going about things slower is a little better but i cant use magic or shops without the error happening. but this never happens with the exile series, only avernum. Posts: 2 | Registered: Thursday, May 6 2004 07:00 |

Yeah I have the same problem. My solution is to just use my old laptop that has Win98 installed rather than my WinXP desktop :P . I was just comming to this board to post this exact problem when I noticed someone else already beat me to the punch. Posts: 16 | Registered: Tuesday, September 2 2003 07:00 |

Try this: http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=001430 It might work for Avernum as well. -------------------- Austrian Alex Posts: 1307 | Registered: Tuesday, May 7 2002 07:00 |

Ah, compatibility (sp?) mode has worked some times for me on older games too... You should try it. -------------------- 33111-CRUSADER-4849 Posts: 662 | Registered: Friday, September 13 2002 07:00 |

I still get this behavior using compatibility mode for Win95 or Win98. Any other ideas? Posts: 48 | Registered: Friday, March 29 2002 08:00 |

Hmm, Blades of Avernum works fine, though. Guess I'll just skip the first three games. Too bad. Posts: 48 | Registered: Friday, March 29 2002 08:00 |
