I've just purchased Morrowind today, installed it, and after getting down to the right Res so that it would run OK, I started. I got off the boat, followed the guard to the office, opened the office door and when it finished loading the game crashed. I just wondered if anyone else had encountered this problem or it was my copy of win98 on it's spiralling descent into Purgatory... (yeah..I know... I'm getting 2k soon)

Did you try it again? The game occasionally crashes, it's very possible it won't crash another time when you start over. Once you're outside the second building you can quicksave :)
Was there an error message?

Have you tried the no-cd patch (detailed in the 'performance' thread at the top of this forum)? I had crashing and poor performance, tried the patch and it's been working perfectly since.

I think the problem is to do with my graphics card. Haha! When it crashes out of Morrowind there's lots of problems with redrawing of images on my screen. It's a Hercules 3D Prophet II MX, 32MB. Mmm. Maybe I need an upgrade. And while I'm at it I'll format and install 2k.
Cheers for the answers anyway. I'll try the patch when i've sorted this all out.
