Hi,
I decided to give UW another go recently and everything was running fine. I'm still on the first level of the abyss but the last time I loaded my savegame up I got a message which said 'error in object list'. Is this the 'inventory bug' that the patch was supposed to fix? I'd read in various FAQs that this bug was only supposed to hit around the 7th or 8th level of the abyss and that it only happened if you had too many items in one container (and considering I'm on the first level that could hardly be the problem).
Anyways, should I restart my game over again or is this a non-lethal error? I don't like the sound of it though.

Playing with that bug is a gamble. You could be fine, but on the other hand, the game could choose to delete a mission critical object, like a talisman. It's up to you.

So is there any way to avoid this bug or is it completely random?

This is frustrating. I restarted the game with a new character but I got the 'problems in object list' message AGAIN.
So if anyone knows the reason why this error appears or how to avoid it please let me know.

Your using an old version of Underworld. Try to get your hands on the final build as that problem shouldn't appear. At least, I've been replaying it year after year without any problem. If your really stuck, you could try the patch, but keep in mind that this patch will corrupt a final build version, so only use it on an old underworld build.

I had some trouble with this as well. I finally got it to work, and I think it's because the NW switch had already been switched when I entered the room. If I remember correctly, the switches have to be put in the up position in that order. If the NW switch starts in the up position, just skip it.
Dunnno if that's what's wrong in your case, but it worked for me. Good luck!

I'll give you ten for the book when you're done with it.
oh, and good luck with the ring :D

I found it is best to be standing on the pedestle, and trigger the switches by magic, unlike the hint you get (where he says stay OFF it). May be worth trying.
