View Full Version : Computer prevents marriage

I killed James; I killed the Kraken; I spoke (not for the first time) to Mirabella and told her James and the Kraken were dead; the game crashed. (Three times so far). Something called DEP told me the "problem event" was a "BEX" error. Any suggestions? I will try to fix this on my own, but I am something of an ignoramus about computers, so I will be fumbling around; I thought I'd post here, too. (Anyone kind enough to suggest a solution should phrase it in simple words that someone of my limited teachnical ability can understand :-)

I'm running the game on Vista and it has worked very well up until this abrupt crash. No problems at all.
-----------------------
Footnote: I tried to turn off this DEP for the game by using the DEP tab in System, but, when I put kb in the list, got a message saying that kb must be run with DEP turned on. I also found on this board a recommendation to turn DEP off completely, using a command prompt, but I hesitate to do this if there's something else to try.
----------------------------
Perhaps the Paladin Karastes is just not meant to marry a pirate. :) As I say, this is the only bug I have run into so far.

My further investigations suggested that patch 1.65 or patch 1.7 might solve the problem, but that patch 1.7 sometimes brought with it problems. So I found patch 1.65, installed it, and voila--the Paladin Karastes is now married to Mirabella. The game is running fine.

My thanks to all who helped with my little problem.
