Raef, for some reason your last reply did not mark the topic as having unread posts, so I didn't see it until Lady Rain replied. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, apparently there isn't a problem with the configuration files unless the configuration program's test crashes.

Have you checked for updated video drivers, Window's critical updates, etc?


With the CRC files, the first step depends on where you installed the game. If you installed it to the default location (C:\Program Files\Larian Studios\Beyond Divinity), then you do not need to do anything with the CRC files, so skip to the next paragraph. If you installed it to another location, 'd:\games\Beyond Divinity' for example, then you will need to edit the CRC file. First open Wordpad, or any other text editor with a search and replace feature; in Win XP click Start | All Programs | Accessories | Wordpad, in Win 9x it is Start | Programs | Accessories | Wordpad, but may not be installed by default (it can be added through the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet, Windows Setup tab).
Once you have Wordpad started, open the BD-1.47nostart.crc file (click File | Open in the menu and browse to where you extracted the CRC zip file). Highlight the first instance of 'C:\Program Files\Larian Studios' and click on the menu Edit | Replace; this will bring up the search and replace window with the text to search for already entered. In the Replace With section you need to enter the path where you installed the game, in this case 'd:\games', and then click on the Replace All button. If you changed the name of the 'Beyond Divinity' folder as well the path, select the full default path before bringing up the search and replace window, and enter the full replacement path. This should change the default location for all of the files and folders to match the path where you installed the game. If everything looks ok, save the file and exit Wordpad.

Double click on the FileCheck.exe program after extracting the downloaded FileCheck.zip file, then switch to the Verify tab. To the right of the text box, click on the '...' button and browse to where you extracted/saved the BD-1.47nostart.crc file to open it, then click on the Verify button. Cut and paste the results into a reply, and I'll see if anything looks suspicious (large size differences, especially if one is zero bytes, errors reading a file or missing files).
The FileCheck homepage goes into a bit of detail on how to use the program, as well.
