I do accept e-mail so I suppose there is a chance I could have read a message with a virus by accident. I do take precautions though. It seems odd though that I'm not suffering problems with any other programs. Do viruses ever just work on one program like this?

I take it if I re-format I lose ...

Just to let you know, I've opened regedit to have a look and did a search for NOMOUSE. I got a selection of results with two columns, name on the left and data on the right. The left column has a selection of numbers and the right seems to contain various files. Included in the search for NOMOUSE ...

Ok, latest update. I went into msconfig and stopped a few programs loading on Start Up but that doesn't seem to have helped. Of course, I may have just disabled the wrong programs but I didn't want to fiddle with anything that I wasn't sure about. There was nothing there though that referred to ...

I did a full scan as soon as this happened the first time so I'm quite confident that I'm virus free.

I'm afraid I don't have any experience of registry editing. How would I do that?

Cheers

OK. Cheers for all the help. I had a play of ToB last night as it loaded again but now, this morning, it won't work again. Wish I'd left the PC on all night!

I've had a check and NIL32 seems to be something to do with an application called NOMOUSE.COM. It seems (and I'm not sure why I didn't notice ...

OK - I think we're getting there. I re-installed again and then searched for the three DLL files giving the error message, which is:
Bgmain has caused an error in [whichever DLL)
Bgmain will now shut down

MSVCRT40.dll and MSVBVM50.dll both live in the Windows/System folder while NIL32.dll is in the ...

I'm just about to try having disabled system restore so I'll let you know how that goes.


Oh woe is me. I've now tried the above and am still having the same problem with same dll files. I'm still to try installing the latest patch but will do that this evening. Although it doesn't seem to be ...

Casting area spells - absolutely fine as long as my characters could conceivably know the enemy is there. So E + F

Detect traps when you know they're there - E

Secret item locating - B

Pickpocket only those people with good things - C

Paired NPCs - A. Its simply not role-playing

Thanks for all the advice so far everyone.

Does Windows ME do that sort of thing then? I've uninstalled both ToB and SoA (and yes, I moved my saved games first!). When I try installing again SoA still works by itself - its just when I add ToB that I get the problems. I've checked to see if any of ...

ToB installation problem

As my main protagonist and Minsc were just about to reach the SoA XP cap I figured it would be a good time to install ToB and continue adventuring - especially as I'm expecting a nice hefty amount of experience for wiping out Bodhi in the next battle. I've done a full install on ToB, however, when I ...

As newbie as you can get

Hi

Sorry if this forum is the wrong place for such basic questions but I have a couple of queries about PoR. I'm a big fan of the Baldurs Gate games and was wondering how similar PoR is to BG in aspects such as control of characters and combat. I know combat in PoR is turn-based but does this ...
