      At least that's what my computer informed me of after I spent the better part of three hours loading all of its components onto my computer and patching it to completion.

      Is there anything I can do outside of an OS emulator of sorts?

        it lies!

        I managed to run it on win7.

        If some poor English shows up in this post: and you're an English teacher, language-patriot or simply kind; please correct me. Thanks.

            I run on Windows 7!

            Use Compatibility mode "XP SP3" and tick "Run as Administrator"

                    Eraminuminum (ok, Eraamion-one time only!) helped me back door it without any hacks, though I had to turn off some of the high end settings. I don't remember what I did, but you can find him easily enough on irc. It might have been what falonthas said, actually.

                      Don't forget to update your graphics card before-hand too. Unless you like 1 fps.

                        Getting back to the windows 7 issues people might generally have.

                        Was running Vista on my laptop and everything worked fine with NWN. Had to update to win7 due to work-related reasons.

                        Now, I get terrible FPS, and the game goes reaaaaaaaaaaaaaal slow in everything (moving around with my char, loading areas, etc.). This happens even if I lower all video settings to minimum. Is that common? Is win7 really that "heavier" than Vista?

                        Well, this was one thing, and the second is that I haven't walked with my char much around the city, but the East Arabel area shows up fine, but the Tired Traveler Inn looks like this:

                        Any idea what is again wrong?

                          Roll back your video drivers if you can.

                              I run a copy on my notebook and it is win7. All I did was copy the folder over from my XP machine and hit the update program and it worked fine.

                                same for me. and before i formated my laptop i had Vista and it ran fine there too.

                                probably not 7 or vista the problem but your hardware.

                                  The key problems I have had in getting NWN to run on Windows 7 have been Graphics Driver based.

                                  I still crash on occasions if I change resolution or switch between windowed and full screen mode.
