I have a full installation of Neverwinter Nights with both expansion packs; when I played it back in June, it ran well most of the time, but when I ran it again today, the game showed the black cd-check screen, and then it disappeared and I got to the desktop, as if nothing was running; I checked WinXP's Task Manager, and I saw NWNMAIN.EXE there, "running", but inert. I had a similar problem back in June, which I've solved by updating my graphics accelerator drivers; this time it didn't help.
Computer specs:
Neverwinter Nights with both expansion packs
Windows XP, fully updated, Service Pack 2 and so on
DirectX 9.0c
Intel Pentium-4 2.8MHz
256MB DDR RAM
GeForce FX 5200 (128MB RAM) Graphics Card with the latest drivers
Aureal Audio sound card with updated drivers
Solutions already attempted and failed:
- Running on a fresh Windows startup
- Running the game directly by NWNMAIN.EXE rather than through the loader
- Updating the game and graphic accelerator drivers
- I've heared something about an "NVidia infinite loop" bug, which was supposed to be responsible for this problem, and have downloaded and installed a program which was supposed to solve this, but to no avail.
