Morrowind won't start in Windows 7

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 5:00 pm

Just tried installing Morrowind GOTY on my MacBook, dual-booted to Windows 7. I also have Tribunal and Bloodmoon installed.

Morrowind crashes on startup. I've tried running it in compatibility mode for Windows XP (service packs 2 and 3) and 98/ME. Any ideas?


Edit: Morrowind is installed outside of Program Files.

Morrowind works well on my Windows 7 PC, you could try reinstalling, make sure you've got all the patches installed, the install order is Morrowind > Tribunal > Tribunal Patch > Bloodmoon > Bloodmoon Patch.

Beyond that, check your drivers, run Windows Update, install latest DirectX etc.

Good luck.

Discovered that the driver for the graphics card was missing and installed it. Also ran Windows Update. The game's working great now. Thanks for all the help.
