In the last month I have purchased a G3 400 MHZ powerbook laptop, Virtual PC 5.0.4 with Windows 98 SE and Wizardry 8. I have been a Mac User for 10+ years and have really never used Windows for anything. Anyway this computer's entire purpose in life is to allow me to (finally) finish Crusaders of the Dark Savant (which I have been playing on and off for at least 6+ years) and thenceforth to Wizardry 8. So anyway I get Win98 loaded, that is working fine and the installation of Wiz8 goes well but I can't launch Wiz8. I am cast into Wizardry-less oblivion! I get an error message that says Wiz8 caused an invalid page fault in module ~df394b. The only windows software I have on the Virtual PC is the software set that installs, with Windows 98 along with Winzip I loaded from a CD that came with a book I bought. The computer has only been on the internet once, and never logged on with Windows so I am sure that I haven't got any viruses. I have been researching this problem by Googling various permutations of the error message and have concluded that I have some kind of SafeDisc problem. Since I don't know anything about Windows I hesitate to start doing any hacker type activity, so I am asking for help from you good folks first. Thanks in advance!

I just got a brand new notebook (cheapest one they had, no frills) and it runs fine under XP, right out of the box. Tools for Wizardry(r) 7   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
