Big problem running ToB

Edwin · Post by **Edwin** » Thu Jul 05, 2001 12:20 am

Somebody please help me!!!!!
Yesterday i installed my copy of ToB. The installation was successful but when i run the game, i am able to see the introduction movies, but not to start the game. The hand (the cursor in BG) does not move but the music plays correctly....moreover there are some small problems with the graphic: when the hand moves for a few seconds (before stopping..) it moves part of the paintings she's passing upon......
Does anyone have an idea what to do????
Thanks a lot.

PS: i have windows '98....

SoA works, right?
Tried reinstalling?
Checked your CD for rips?
Patched it?

SoA worked well before ToB installation.....now it has the same problem...
I tried reinstalling tob and than soa+tob....no good news.....
I have not patched it because the patch says it's for windows 2000....

What graphics card are you using?
I had that same problem with the graphics when i used 3D Acceleration with my Voodoo 5 5500 and Triple buffering was on...

I don't remember the exact video card....i know it's a good (but not the best) one.....what do you suggest??? hanging some options???? Thanks a lot for the interest....

Yeah, check BGConfig (make sure 3D acceleration is off)... also you might try some new drivers for you video card if nothing else works.

I am having a similar problem. During combat, my screen switches to the upper left hand corner of the dungeon, away from my characters -repeatedly! It's driving me nuts. I'm on Windows 2000, but I have not applied the patch, because I cannot find it online.
