I am currently running my PC at the following specs:

AMD Athlon 1700MHz
NVidea Riva TNT2 model 64
256Mb Ram
Win XP

I have the most uptodate drivers and nwn did used to run before I reloaded
windows. Now when i try to start it, a black screen appears and I can hear
the music but I can't play. Any ideas as to why?

Thank you for any help

Sam

Last time I had this was when I had a Matrox card (a few years back) and the
cause was outdated drivers...Updating Matrox drivers fixed the problem. But
you said you have the latest possible drivers for your graphics card
installed, yes? Disabling 'Hardware Mouse' in settings might also be worth a
try.

Have you updated NWN to the latest version? Lots of people had the same
problem with earlier versions of the game.

patch - it was one of the first things i did when i got broadband! but i'll
check again.

Thanks for your advice
