    After I created my character, and clicked start, and the movie finished. The loading area came up (i was smiling! I was waiting to get my first glimse) but first off I noticed the loading bar never showed up, and it would freeze. Whats going on!? So close to starting my little adventure, but yet so far! So I keep attempting, playing with configuration, eventually I format the drive its in (D drive is my game drive, it has more space and was made for putting stuff on it so C drive can be saved for winzip and windows, and things like that) so after that I reinstall the game, and do all of that gain, and look! It still happens, I know I am under the requirements but I have herd of people running the game in worse conditions, how can I make it run? It will not go past the loading of the ery first area? so I have not even moved my character!? I made him, but cant use him! now what

    You haven't posted your graphics card. But no matter, try to update it's drivers.

    Another thing, IIRC 333 Mhz is below specs?

    Ok, My video card is a radeon (32) that is only about 3-4 four monthes old. I have a Pentium II but its 333 and not 450 but I have played many games that require over 450, so now what? I am just having problems getting i into the game, I can get into tht toolset, just not into the campains and such.
     
  5. Apparently it works on my crappy puter, .. which has less memory than you. But I have never experienced that it wouldn't load. Try changing the texture pack or something. Or mail Bioware.

    I think the computer just doesn't have enough power to load the area. A Celeron 333 is really far below the requirements, and I think Bioware will tell the same, they can't help people that have a PC that is beneath the requirements. You can try lower resolution, color and tecture dept etc, it will make all a bit less heavy to load.

    I took it all to a bare minimun, and disabled sound.
    I can make modules, I maded a test one with not much in it besides a few creatures and items.
    I found I can load my small module, so I think it is just completly out dated. It finishes with the load on my module, but less than a minute into playing the computer crashes...argghhh!

    I am going to upgrade my computer with a pentium III with 1.31 giga-hertz, think that will fix it? My video card is powerful enough, I just need a better processor I think.....
