Hi Adini,
Welcome in the forum - and thanks for liking <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />
Did you try out the following things already:
*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 (e.g. messengers, email, screensaver, virus scanner)
*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.
