Hello! Many of you may not remember me, some of you might although it has been quite some time since I've been around playing on Amia. I am ready to return. I have my old CDs to install the game and everything. I install the game and then when I go to play it I receive an error telling me that the game is not compatible with my version of Windows. I can't help but think there must be some way around this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Right-click on the shortcut/program icon, choose the "Compatibility" tab and select: :arrow: Run this program in compatibility mode for: [mine is set to] Windows XP (Service Pack 3)

Thank you. I have already done that and am still having the issue. I appreciate all the help I can get, though! :)

Hmmm Do you also have it set to run as administrator?

That's all I remember having to do with mine. Running Win 7 Ultimate

Weird, I know different people have been having different issues with Win7. Works for me on Pro 64 bit after some tweaking, heh.

Other than setting compatibility to XP SP3 and also Run as Admin, I did this:
I sent nwmain.exe (I think that's the name) and the other main nwn exe to the same settings. I think it worked after that.

Well, that's what I meant I did when I said I had it set to run like that, was right clicking nwnmaine.exe and nwn.exe and changing the settings. Is there something else I need? Also, where can I get the patches as when I try to update it faults out.

Uhh.... I don't have the links handy, someone does though!

Make sure the shortcut is set correctly, too. I think you need to do it on it as well. If I was home I could look better, heh.
