All the mss32 stuff is for Vista/7.

 

Try disabling one core.

[Labadal]

Try running the game in Windows 2000 mode.

[Touya]

well, tried the compatibility mode with 2000, and 98, etc. and also tried disabling 1 core to run it. still no luck. though i am successfully getting through creating a character each time, it freezes when it's loading after i hit play every time now.

[Orchomene]

Try to disable the movies and see if it still crashes.

[Touya]

disabling movies was how i was able to get into character creation . preciate the help so far though, but sadly still no luck . might have to break down and buy the xbox game and an xbox off ebay
