The problem seems to be I cannot open the MGE exe because it crashes. I have NET 2.0 and directx 0.9c and the required hardware. Does anyone know a solution or an explanation of why it doesn't work? I've checked the guides and dollowed them perfectly and it still won't work. Fast replies would be very appreciated, but comments like working perfectly on your computer will not help me here I'm using windows vista, amybe it's that that is the problem? But I'm pretty sure it's not that.

I'm pretty new to MGE, but the following worked for me on Windows 7. I started with 3.8.0b and it ran fine. I updated to 3.8.2-178 and it silently crashed every time I launched it, though 3.8.0b continued to work (swapping all the files each time, obviously).

I eventually got it working by doing the following.

For MGEgui.exe, Morrowind Launcher.exe, and Morrowind.exe:

In the Properties->Compatibility tab I checked:
- "Run this program in compatibility mode for [Windows XP Service Pack 3]".
- "Run this program as administrator"

Then in the "Properties"->General tab, I removed the Read-only attribute from the Morrowind directory and sub-directories.

The combination of the above fixed it.
