Finally!! Got it working - hurray (just in time for me to go on holiday - boooo!). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I uninstalled it, deleted all the folders and stuff it left behind, then reinstalled it again.

It loaded up the first bit, gave me the option to load, pressed the "load" button - but there was nothing there!!! Then I realised I'd forgotten to shift the save games back - doh! So, shifted the save games back, loaded, pressed the "load" button, my saved games were there, selected the most recent - didn't work.

Then tried selecting the oldest one. Still didn't work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />

Then came back here, saw Raze's post and thought - aha!! Patch! Again, so excited to try the game, forgot to re-patch. So ... repatched, held my breath, crossed my fingers .... and it works!!!! I am soooo relieved. I thought I'd lost all my saves and would have to start from scratch again. Which, don't get me wrong, I probably will do anyway - but when I've gone through it once already. I'd like to try a magician, I think. Or perhaps, by then, I'll be playing a certain other "Divinity" Game. Got my dad hooked as well - which is probably very sad!! Our local "Game" shop is selling Divine Divinity for less than a fiver. Unbelievable!

Thanks for all your help. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/kissyou.gif" alt="" />
