Archived from groups: alt>games>elder-scrolls (more info?)
I have Morrowind and Tribunal and Bloodmoon and I have the unofficial
patch (1.6.3). I also have a few mods (Wold of Faces Master,
Atmospheric Sound affects 3.0 and Tribunal 3.0 and Better Bodies)

I have Windows Vista Business 32 Bit on a P4 Hyper Threading 3.0 GHz 1
Gig RAM system with a Geforce 7200 GS PCI-E card.

The game sometimes crashes. Well actually it almost always crashes. I
have tried all kinds of graphics options in the game (about everything
there is to adjust) and in the Nvidia control panel I added the
morrowing EXE and tried customizing the settings there as well. I
have the game running in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode with visual
themes, desktop composition and scaling all off. I also tried Windows
2000 and Windows 98 compatibility modes. Windows XP is best for me.

I read on a web forum where someone was saying they had Morrowind
working on Vista 32 bit. So I at least know Morrowing works for
people with Vista. I am hoping there is some easy to change setting I
can change.

Any ideas?

I have run MW on many incarnations of my computer...and all have
crashed frequently. I upsgraded form Win98SE to WinXP and it still
crashed. I've had two motherboards and three or four video cards, it
still crashed a lot. F5 (quicksave) is useful. Some people say the
quick saves are more likely to get corrupted than full saves.

And another thing, it could be your RAM (computer memory) that's
faulty. Try replacing your RAM and the problems may go away. It sounds
like DeAnn was changing everything but the memory, and the memory is
often where the problem lies.

While Morrowind, or any other program, is running it needs to use the
RAM frequently. When the program enoucnters a 'bad' section of the RAM
you get a crash, a freeze, or a reboot.

Just my 2 dolmars.

Have a good one,

Anson.

Iv'e replaced and upgraded memory too, just didn't mention it. One
can also do a memcheck (I use linux for this, but I think there is
also a dos/windows capability). I had, once upon a time, a bank of
bad memory that only showed up when running sims2 (older and smaller
games did not trigger it). Memcheck showed the flaw immediately (no
need to wait for an overnight run to catch rare failures).
