    ok. i just installed TOEE on my sons new computer, including patch 5 final. but when he goes to run it, it freezes up during the initial character creation process (each time when he hit's the "portrait" button. i thought maybe it might be a memory thing since that machine has only 512 (forgot to buy another chip when we got it), so i installed it on my wifes notebook (which has 1 gig-i'll catch #e!! for it tomorrow when she finds out), but the same problem occured. suggestions?

    Re: Windows Vista OS, Go or No Go

    You may have some outdated version of portait.mes I guess...
    I had this while testing KotB, there were lines with two identically
    numbered columns. I'd try reapplying the portrait pack you are
    probably using.

    have you installed the voice and portrait packs? If so this could be your problem.

    Hey Cujo... I don't mean to be picky, but what happened to the Windows Vista OS thread? :sweatdrop

    I guess it went back to where ever it came from - about 14 threads down in the non-sticked threads of this forum :p

    Ah, there it is. I missed it. I thought maybe it got deleted or something. Sorry. :wave:

    The thread was originally posted in the wrong place. Moved to the Temple of Elemental Evil forum.

    Speaking of the original issue: it's not a memory issue (512MB is enough), it's most certainly an issue with portrait packs or portrait.mes. You may want to try reinstalling, following the installation instructions closely.

    The original release of 5.0.0 had a problem with portraits.mes that caused a crash on portrait selection. Installing 5.0.1 or the Portrait & Voice Packs will fix it.
