To whom it may concern,

I have recently acquired a copy of Icewind dale 2. I used to play it all the time on an older system using windows Xp. I still use windows Xp but obviously a newer comp. I have looked endlessy for an answer to my technical question with no answer yet !! I realllllllly hope you can help me !! My game works great up until I enter the equipment screen. Some avatars screens will cause the game to crash whilst others don't. I love this game and so want to play it but I can't figure out how to fix it. I've tried changing settings. I've tried the compatibility option but to no avail notta !!!
If you don't have an answer perhaps you know where to direct me to find one ??


Thanks in advance; Steve

This is a bug with Windows XP that was introduced with Service Pack 2. There is no solution, from what I understand.

You might check and see if you can upgrade to SP3, if you already haven't. That _might_ fix things.

I am running SP3 !! Any other options.. and if I upgrade to windows 7 will there still be problems ??

I'm not sure if Win7 will fix it. Maybe someone else has already gotten IWD to run on Win7? I did a little bit of searching, and it looks like people have successfully installed and run IWD in Win7 machines.

I know there are IWD/IWD2 players there.
