Hopefully, someone has had this bug and knows a fix. Last night I played and everything was fine. am running 2.2. Had just beaten the three Dark Wizards at the end of the Mines and barely made it rthu. Then, when I loaded up today, it went to the character choose screen with no problem. then i loaded my character, my only character, and after trying to load the world, it brought up this error message:
"This application has failed because the following file netdtect.dll could not be found. Re-installing application may fix the problem."
Well, let me tell ya, it did NOT fix the problem. still won't load world. have not tried a new game as I am not overly interested in starting over quite yet. I would really rather finish my first game so i can go on to the harder difficulty. anyone have any ideas?????

Do you have XP SP1? netdtect.dll is not included with Windows anymore I think but the dll in question can probably be found on the net, or at least what you can do about the problem.

i do. i also emailed micro$oft about the issue and their answer was worthless. they suggested that i stop running any and all other programs and try it again. did not work. then they never responded with any other ideas. thankfully, i tried one of teh suggestions on here about corrupted save games and started from an earlier save and was able to motor through and now finish the game.
