What kind of video card did you buy? Be sure to get the very latest drivers from ati.com or nvidia.com, depending on what kind you have. The drivers that came with the card on a CD or whatever are almost certainly not going to be up-to-date enough...

Hmm, could be related to the copy protection somehow... Does it bring up the dialog box saying it's checking the disc?

This is always a sensitive question: Do you have the real game or a copied version? I hope you realize copy protection won't let you play with a copied version.

In other cases, I'd try downloading the patch if you haven't done that already. I heard some people who had their game running fine after installing the latest patch. Unfortunately, the support section of Larian is currently down until the 1.42 version of the patch is released, which should be later today.

Is your CD drive a CD-RW with burning software loaded, or do you have any weird CD virtual imaging type software loaded etc? I've seen things like those cause problems with certain copy protection before. Don't know if BD has those problems or not...

I HAVE the real version. Normally i get illegal versions, but coz i really liked Divine Divinity i decided to BUY the game...

i run it on my DVDdrive (16x speed)

i tried 2 cancel all programs on the background (except explorer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> ) and on 1600/1500 without fog and i saw the intro...after that my game got stuck <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

i hope i dont have 2 do this all the time( if it works next time i do)

BTW: i am downloading 1,42 at the moment

Silly question but are you sure you have the right CD in the drive ? There is one installation CD and one Play CD,... on the US version AFAIK they are not easily distingushable.

You are running 1.42 ? It solved my CTD problem, it might solve yours.

Erm... Try closing down all background programs (especially anti-virus), by pressing ctrl+alt+del, and closing down everything except for systray and explorer. There might be some background program interfering.

If you have WindowsXP, make sure you have Service Pack 1 installed.

If that doesn't help, post your computer specifications here... That alows us to help better.

Tovi's advice is excellent. It sounds like you've got some program running in the background that's using a memory location which <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> wants. When the two collide, I'll hazard a guess that the system attempts to inform one or both programs to "pull back," in effect, and neither does. As the system freezes, the CPU signals a reboot.

From personal experience, I suggest removing as much as you can that's in memory before running any game. Games are usually designed with the idea that you aren't going to run anything at the same time, and they don't like sharing. Unfortunately, some programs are all about sharing--such as anti-virus apps, or reminder/contact management programs, or even screensavers.

He also mentioned that he's running from a DVD drive. That's not always an issue, but I know from my own experience that some games don't like DVD drives, installing or loading. If you have a CD drive to run from, try that.
