Usually we say upgrade your drivers, but NWN is quite old game, so if you don't have really really old drivers, it should be ok.

Give us more specs. What is your hardware, system, NWN version?

No, as I said, NWN is quite old game, so it has quite low requirements.

This kind of problems ussually comes from drivers issues. First thing you should do is to check out your NWN version (you can see it on several places in game, ussually in left upper corner). Most recent version is 1.66, so if you don't have 1.66 version, upgrade to it either by using update from main menu or by visiting NWN official site and downloading the latest patch from there, see http://nwn.bioware.com/

so what version of NWN do you have?
platinum?
diamond?
original?

got SoU and/or HotU? are they installed also?

install any mods before trying to play? using a premade character, maybe a previous savegame from an earlier installation? anything like that?

V***V

Ok i have the original nwn. I ran the patcher, and it said i hvae every patch. Now the game start, and i can play.....but i didn't worth a lot. The game is extremly slow. I see only pictures from the game....I tought the RAM is problem but 512 RAM isn't enough. So how many RAM i need or not the RAM is the problem. There is written in the readme, the program needs: Pentium 2 or 3 or AthlonTM 800 MHz may the problem is here. I have AMD Athlon(tm) 64 processor. This isn't good or what??? And what can i do??

Sound is often an issue for this game, be sure you are using the Miles Fast 2d regardless of what the test says or what you have and see if that helps.

As for the toolset, I have no idea. Sounds like your rig is fine, but be sure you do have all the lastest drivers for all your stuff and bios for it as well. Maybe someone else will know what that message means.

256 MB RAM is more than enough to play NWN as well as a GeForce 2 MX card.

The manufacturer of your pc may have a site with all the update links you need. If you know the name of the card, just search for their site and then search for your card in their update files. It is really not hard to do.

In the menu there is an update, and it downloads every file the program needs. But my problem is : I'm not sure i running the latest drivers for my video card. I ask how to be sure about it?

That is what I was talking about. Find a link to the manufacturer of you card. They will have the latest ones. Unless you do that there is no way to know. You have to go to them.
