Actually first it takes getting it to run long enough to do anything.

Runs fine here. By the way, how far have you got in it so far? Did you make
it into Fargrove yet?

That's the thing that has suprised me. With all of the problems it does have,
crashing isn't one of them, for me at least. It is remarkably stable and I
have left it running for hours overnight paused just to see how many enemies
will spawn for instance! :-)

That makes no difference (the quest), you can't sleep in Arindale, so I
moved on and got a new quest in Arindale ,maybe you can sleep in the inn
afterwards.

BTW.I was reading about crashes , it did not crash once here , it's very
stable ,the only odd thing that my character walks very slow in the
woods and fast in buildings/dungeons.Tried to change the videosettings
but it persist.

I got past this point before I restarted. I don't know what the proper way of
getting in to Fargrove is but I allowed some monsters to push me over the
mountains so I could come down on the south side. Worked for me. I hadn't
activated the Moongates at that point.

Thanks, it did work after I tried a second time! Maybe just a glitch in
the software.

Talking about the software, the sound is sometime weird, it is somewhat
low and then it will rise very high and then go back low. Anybody
having the same issue?

The left or right main audio channel is probably inverted. I do not
have the game, but you may want to fiddle with the audio options,
such as turning off EAX etc and see if the problem goes away.
A fairly common bug. Comes of not testing the game with
headphones on ---- which pick up quirks like this very quickly.
