NWN not working for Windows 7 64 bit
« on: May 18, 2010, 01:29:18 am »
Anyone know what I should do?  I have another PC i can run NWN off of, but my new laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and nwn wont run.  
I've tried to do compatibility mode and run as admin on the nwn.exe and the nwnmain.exe

any thoughts?

well, one, set the theme to basic (blank and no fancy ) and set compatibility to either XP SP2 or SP3...

and try a critical rebuild...

and... perhaps, you may try halting some background programs/services. I have the samve version of windows on my mac under bootcamp. it gets kinda funny when you run lotsa stuff.. but that may just be Bootcamp.
