Hi farris,
Did you try out the following already? (from our
Technical Support FAQ)
5) Problem: Random crashes
* Make sure all your drivers are up to date and you have the latest service packs and windows updates installed.
* Turn down the windows hardware acceleration of the sound driver down by one notch.
* Make sure the color depth of your desktop is set to 16 bits.
* Make sure the integrity of your files is not compromised by executing a scandisk.
* Make sure you have no other applications running in the background
* Make sure you have enough free hard disc space
* Make sure you have full read/write access to the folder where you installed Divine Divinity You also might want to check if there is a file called error.txt in the run folder of the folder where Divine Divinity was installed, as it might contain helpful hints. If none of the above helps you, I would try uninstalling, reinstall, apply the patch and try again. Don't forget to backup your savegames! If I were you, I would first play again with a fresh install (so, don't copy your savegames) and see if it works. Then I would try again, with your older savegames. Maybe one of your current saves do contain corrupt files...
And if you backup your savegames on a cd, don't forget to uncheck the read-only flags when copying them to your HDD.
