I have read guides and they haven\'t explained what to do about this. I\'ve tried every thing.

[Moogie]

What to do about what? You need to tell us what the problem is first.

[Shadowfalcon]

I see your problem, youre using Windows ME! But seriously, give us more info on whatever errors you are getting.

[Keldrena]

Oh, sorry! Stupid me. After initializing the world I get into the game but I can\'t move around, The only thing I can do is talk. No one I see moves either.

[Shadowfalcon]

can you tell if its just really bad lag? I got .01 FPS when i first installed it. updating my video drivers gave me over 70 fps. Of course upon further review of your system specs, i see that you are using a rather old computer, witha Savage4 GT vid card. first, MB really need at leats 256mb RAM, and i think at least a 32mb vid card. (gForce 2 or better i think) so it could be your comp. You may have better luck with Crystal Blue, as I hear you wont need such a hardcore comp to run it. anyway, thats my thoughts on the matter.

[Keldrena]

Maybe it is just lag. I\'ve moved before, even gone to the tavern, but now I can\'t.

[Myrtl]

If its just that lag stuff then u really have nothing to worry about.

[Ghostslayer]

To be honest, I\'m surprised it runs on your system at all.  You have a PIII 450, 160MB RAM and an 8MB video card.  I think I have seen at most two people that could get it to run with a CPU thats around that slow.  Most people that get it to run have >1GHz, >256MB RAM and >32MB video card.
Its most likely that your computer can\'t handle it and you are getting really low fps.

[Seytra]

To move, you must click into the display area, because otherwise the chat window has the focus and grabs all keyboard input. To chat, do the reverse.

Also, ME must be far superiour to any version of windoze I\'ve seen yet, as I need > 200 MB of RAM and another 200 MB of swap to get PS to work (until it crashes).

Anyway, you can try to get your FPS up by setting PS to minumum settings (resolution, etc.) in pssetup.exe.

Alright then, thank you.
