Windows 2000 (Server): wont work
   

upon opening the hatch from the beginning (thus loading an exterior map), the game bluescreens. the file reported wigging out is "nv4_disp.dll".

i have tried loading other save games, same thing: interior maps work, but upon exiting a building it explodes.

anyone else running in windows 2000 server?

and please, dont say "upgrade to xp". i need server for a reason. all my other games work just fine.


latest-everything drivers.

That's the NVidia driver which means either it's the graphic driver, the directX driver, or some conflict of the aforementioned with other drivers. Specify which NVidia drivers and others (VIA etc) instead of 'latest' and maybe people can help more.

whatever. if you HAD any info, i wouldnt bite your hand off.

but, seeing as i *just said* that i had the latest drivers, asking "uhh do you have the latest driver?" is pointless. so, unless youre a developer in disguise, stow it pal.

Confirmed
   

If anyone reading this thinks that Kibbles is a raving lunatic, he's not.

I am experiencing the same problems on nearly the same setup. When you leave the ship you get the bluescreen of death.

Any other people running this on W2K Advanced Server?

Any help would be appreciated.

win2k hatch crashes
   

I am having the same problem, game totally crashes ... actually restarts my puter as soon as I open the hatch from the boat. I originally thought it was my sound card because the intro movie was choppy, so I went and bought a soundblaster live..still choppy. still crash. I tried disableing sound in the morrowind.ini file and have the latest v6800 drivers. v3.79 its a geforce 32mb ddr. No idea what to do!!! any info pls help!

Interesting....
   

Here at the house, I run almost exclusively dual processor machines.

I have a couple of Tyan Thunder and Tiger MP boards.

The Thunders are running Win2KAS as they are sometime webservers.

I use one as my personal gaming machine and graphics workstation with a VisionTek GeForce 4 Ti4600 card and I do not have ANY crashes whatsoever.

I'm running a SB Audigy Platinum Internal for my sound card and I'm using DirectX 8.1.

I'm running 28.32 Detonator drivers, not VisionTek's.

It could be a couple of things. I have found that if you do not completely remove the old drivers, the new ones don't quite work properly. The latest nVidia drivers are 28.32. Try setting video driver to Standard VGA, rebooting and then reloading the nVidia drivers. This is what I had to do.

If you are using a Via chipset, there is a known issue that crops up that causes a BSOD. If installing the latest Via and nVidia drivers does not fix the problem, try downloading nvMax from http://www.charnleys.co.uk/NVmax4.exe. There is an option under the System tab in the Miscellaneous section labeled "BSOD fix" or something. Just check this and you will be AOK.

FIX
   

uninstalling (not just Stopping) Terminal Services prevents the BSOD.

still sorta lame, as i use TS a dozen times a day... but maybe it will help them to fix it.

Same problem at Win2K Professional
   

It's not Win2K Server, but I have the same problem. Opening the hatch the game freezes (no bluescreen, no crash to desktop, simply stops doing everything but playing the nice background sounds).

My Specs:
AMD TB 900 MHz
Radeon 8500
640 MB RAM
SB Live! Player
Win2K SP2

I forgot the mainboard is a MSI K7T (-> Via-Chipset, therefore I'm going to try the latest Via4in1 Drivers...)
