In that case you can do it manually.

KB:AP saves your settings in this folder:
<Documents>\<User name>\My Documents\My Games\Kings Bounty Princess
In a file called "game.ini".

For Windows XP, if I remember correctly, <Documents> translates to "Documents and Settings". <User name> would be your Windows user name.

So if your Windows user name is "baral1234", you should find game.ini in:
C:\Documents and Settings\baral1234\My Documents\My Games\Kings Bounty Princess\game.ini

Make a back up of your game.ini first, so you can restore it if you want.

Then replace the file's content with these...

I created the above game.ini by opening my game and turning all video and sound settings off or set at minimum.

Try and see if you can run the game with those settings. If yes, then turn the settings up slowly (while staying away from the shadow option of course).


But clearly from your report of crashing when adjusting shadow settings, you have a problem with either your video card, video driver, DirectX or perhaps other hardware (like motherboard or power supply).

Follow N3MES1S and my advice and see if your video card is overheating.

Use a 3D benchmark program (e.g. 3DMark), see if your card can run the full test without crashing.

Also I just realize you didn't mention if your system can run other 3D games or not...

hi i am back,
i did what i told me to do.

1.i have replaced the C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\My Documents\My Games\Kings Bounty Princess\game.ini files as u asked me to do but when i ran the game my computer frezed at the main menu with no clicks.

2.I have downloaded and ran the 3DMark.It worked fine but very VERY slow and my score was 400 3DMarks(VERY LOW).

3.And i can run 3D games.

Hi,

I have the same problem. I think it's because of the graphic card (I have the same model ATI Radeon X1200 series). As i saw in requirements the game require shaders v.3.0 and as far as i know this card does not have such a thing.

Well, I might be wrong but anyway looks like this type of card can't manage to run the game...
