Planscape Torment, Win XP Pro, Detanators.....?

[CrowDog]

Im having trouble running this. It seemed fine for the first few hours I played it. Then it would freeze on me once I got into the hive area,it would also reboot my comp while playing. I tried older det drivers and reinstalled the game without the 1.1 patch and it still reboots itself,tho not as much, I played for a couple hours after reinstalling before it rebooted. Does anyone have this same set and have probs? Anyone got any ideas?

I just tried Win 98 compatability and it didnt work...its still rebooting all on its own after a few minutes of play.:| It must be my vid card drivers..Im running a geforce 256 sdr and detanators 23.11. Grrrrrr

[EDIT] Just used windows update and grabbed the latest critical update, still freezing and rebooting itself

Hey thanks for the program...

I got it and it seems to be finding errors and problems...but it basicly looks like jibberish to me...I have no idea what any of it means. I have a log file saved to note pad from the apllication verafier and it says things like.."This apllication ashould not read this area of the registry" and something about a "hardcoded path" also says "To guarantee compatibility, use the proper API calls". I have no idea what to do...looks like Im screwed unless someone that know what this stuff means will take a look at this notepad log and tell me what it means in english

-Thanx guys

I'd head over to Interplay's website and download any patches for the game. There is also a support email address that I used once there and got a fix back the next day.

Fixed It!!!

It started happining in Balders Gate too, it was my sound card drivers. It happend in the first town area of both games and it would start rebooting and freezing. There was a sound both these games were playing that my sound card drivers didnt like. My sound card is a Gullimot Maxi Sound Muse, its thier new win xp drivers that were the problem. Without the new XP drivers the card gives me sound issues in RTCW though...bottom line is this sound card sucks:|

-Thanks guys for trying to help
