I love Spiderweb software because they make games for non-gaming computers, where quality of content makes up for lower quality special effects. I run XP on a cheap dell laptop Inspiron 1501 from way back in 2006, though geneforge 4 and avernum 5 played great right to the end, in G5 as soon as I try to choose a character or go to settings, the game crashes. I can see instructions, and other things, but the little registration text in the corner is all blocks.
From what I've read so far, I should give up trying to update drivers. I just don't have a gaming card. Maybe with the lower color version?
Anyway thanks for the years of games while they lasted.
