First off, I love this game. I bought it today and have played it for about three hours. My little chicken chaser is growing up so fast though. *sniffle* I know my computer isn't the best (1.6Ghz P4) and the video card could be better (ATI Radeon 8500DV) but it seems to handle the graphics just fine and the game runs smoothly.

Or at least it did until I got to Barrow Fields after the "lead the traders through the forest alive" quest. For some reason every time I try to leave the field out the new exit, the way I'm supposed to go, it crashes. Every time. I've tried everything I can think of, including disabling the sound card (since I read somewhere that sound cards were causing problems), lowering all the graphics down to min, unchecking a bunch of stuff, etc. Nothing seems to help.

Does this mean I'm screwed and am out of luck? I really hope not. ;-;

Suggestions? Help? Please? Thanks in advance.

Check your CD for scratches/dirt. If the CD is clean then try reinstalling in case there is an error with one of the installed files (back up your saves first by going into the program folder for Fable and copying the save folder to somewhere like My Documents). If this doesn't work then I'm out of ideas, sorry.

Er.. well, I would do this except that I don't see a save folder. Is it possibly hidden or put somewhere else? I mean, I know how to check and stuff (I'm not -that- bad with a computer, haha) but I'm not seeing a save folder anywhere in any of the folders. 0_o

You have to go to the 'My Documents' folder. Then look for the folder titled, 'My Games' (This game was published under Microsoft, so expect a file that go by that name whenever you install any game published by Microsoft ). You'll be bound to find the save game folder of Fable right there.

Well, reinstalling didn't help but for some reason I've discovered if I run through that area at night it won't crash on me. So.. yeah. That's weird. But I guess it goes to show that you shouldn't give up on it until you've tried everything.
