woe me, woe, indeed.

i may, or am just reinstating the same problem. yet just the same, in hope that someone might
know something on how to alleviate me on my present condition.

first off, my system is:
p3 733 mhz
40GB hard drive
128 RAM
inno 3d geforce2 mx 400 video card
sblive! sound card
p3v4x asus motherboard(via chipset)
present OS winxp

i had played the game under two OS. one is winME and the other is winXP.

under winME, i had had couple of problems. one is i can't install normally.
second is random crashes, to which i can attribute on my first problem and
the fact that i forgot to edit the registry entry of Divine Divinity. excepting
the installation problem, all other problems were solved with ease with the application
of the patch 1.34. to state plainly, i was having a blast playing DD.

however, on a sudden turn of event while installing norton system works 2003,
my pc crashed and with it my pc(figuratively). all programs in my pc then were
won't work. so taking an easy way out, i simply installed winXP since i didn't have
any winME installation disc at hand. and thus, begun my woes.

under winXP, DD is unstable. the whole length of my weekend was spent trying
configure which setting would work with DD. all of which have failed.
--full installation, manual or proper installation under different settings results
freezing or crashing, whether i load a saved game or create a new game.
--minimum installation under different settings results freezing or
crashing, whether i load a saved game or create a new game.

i also tried using different patch but to no avail.

anyone have any ideas how to run the game in winXP?

can someone tell me where i can find a guide, a site maybe, on how to create
two operating systems so i can install winME.

please do help me.
