Just in case anyone's interested, here's a quick update: In the meantime I reinstalled XP and found my old cd again. So I really couldn't tell what did it in the end, but I suspect, the UK cd was just no good for my system. I play again with my old cd, which was from when B&W first came out...

Meanwhile I re-installed the game and it works again - even with the change in the GameBalanceResourceGeneral file. Had to be another problem... thanks anyway.

Are there other suggestions about what could happen with custom maps? Only other thing I did besides copy the files of the map, was tweak the GameBalanceResourceGeneral file for bigger yield from fields.

Crack? I guess you mean a no-cd patch? Nope, don't use that. Also, that glitch didn't occur before I played custom maps. Thanks anyway.

I'm currently trying out some custom maps. I found out that it's really hard to play with 40 adults and hundreds of 1 year olds running after their mothers, 10 kids per mother. :shocked First time that happend was with Paradise Islands: City Builder. I assumed there was a bug in the map. But...

Huh. I thought it was "when defending on your own turf, it isn't considered evil". At least that's how it worked in the main game. Yes, I found that out shortly after my post. So... now I can peacefully impress all the towns if only I leave the one troop be. But as Mary26 says, there is no way...

Since I don't get my Black & White1 running properly, I thought I'd have another go at BotG, which I hadn't finished before. I collected the statues and got into the bonus land, yay! I loved the look of the place and looked forward to building a really nice city on a really nice island which...

Ok, I tried the omega drivers, as they are built on the basis of a 66.xx nvidia driver (surely more than a year). But there's  no difference at all. Not with B&W1 anyway, but in B&W2 I get blue terrains instead of the black evil terrain, lol. Searched for spyware, didn't find anything relevant...

Ok, now I have something that might narrow it down - if one understands the language of Win error messages... I tried playing some more and upon the last auto save (which really is the only way to play at all), i got this error message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime error...

Thanks for your quick answer, Kays. But... can this really be a driver problem? As i said, graphics in general are quite good. Sigh, i really don't fancy changing my drivers on a daily basis, but I guess it's worth a try at least. Oh, and another thing I'm just now remembering: I don't get any...

Hi there, nice to find there's still an active B&W community. :) Hope you can help me out here. Ok, so... the other day I found myself determined to play the good old B&W again, since it's really more fun than B&W2. Alas, I couldn't find my CD anymore (still have the serial, though, isn't that...
