No i dont have any other games to try this on.
Yes i tried it both ways and the same thing happend.
Yes i am an administrator and i did check the disable visual themes and desktop composition boxes.
I did find a text file in the beyond divinity folder labeled error that said:
LCDebug.Error at Tue Oct 09 22:45:10.646 2007
Bad Version : instead of MagicV1.0 16-03-2004
But I dont think this has anything to do with why it does not load.
Any other suggestions???
