I am on windows XP, and exile 3 is not loading. It's just an empty window, and nothing happens. When I try to close it, it tells me that the 16-bit subsystem may be unstable, whatever that means. anybody know what to do?

I had almost the same problem with BoE char Editor, on Mac. It came up as a blank window and I solved it by turning to monitor from Millions of colours to the amount of colours BoE wanted (I forget what). Try that.

EDIT: It might not work for you poor Windows users. Buy a Mac!

I had that problem when I first "upgraded" to an XP box from my beloved 95 box. Amazingly, I did what the people say, and downloaded the latest sound drivers; it actually worked like they said it would.

Other factors that may account for my successfully running E3/E2/E1 on XP: on the shortcut properties, I selected run in compatability mode (W95 compatability). Plus I have found Exile is a bit less likely to crash on startup if you've "warmed up" the sound drivers using Avernum first.

Geneforge 4 stuff. Also, everything I know about Avernum | Avernum 2 | Avernum 3 | Avernum 4
