    Well, basically, I decided to install IWD2 on my (much) older computer in my room, hoping it'd work considering the games age. I went through creating my party as usual, without any problems and hit "Done". The loading screen came up with the usual "Starting game.." and the yellow bar filled up. BOOM. My computer freezes and nothing else happens until I restart my pc. I'm guessing this is down to my graphics card and possibly other specs, so I'll whack them up here in the hope that someone can help me.

    OS: XP
    Processor: 1.1Ghz
    RAM: 512MB
    Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 - Approx. Total Memory: 32.0MB

    (I know, it hurts.)

    I'd appreciate it if anybody could help me, or at least try, thank you very much for your time.

    I used the same graphics card on my system for a long time and it's still running (but now as my sisters stationary). Never had any problems with IWD2. Still works like a charm there, even unpatched.

    Still worth to try installing the patch as Taluntain said. It really removes most of those problems (that I've never encountered even before finding the patch).
