Unhappy problems loading areas

and before you take my head off and send me to search an earlier post i must apollogise, but i've spent the last two weeks searching the net with no resaults. well, at least not useful ones.

im having problems loading several areas, like the watcher's keep, the thieve's guild building at the docks area and some others randomly.
i already finished the game once, a year ago on the same computer with no problems at all (not technical ones...) and since then i didnt do any major changes and no hardware changes at all.

i tried to reinstall, which cost me a game in day 27, i tried updating all my hardware drivers, erased the "cache", "temp" and "tempsave" folders and tried to change the configurations and nothing worked.

so if anyone knows anything that can help me, please do tell me before i'll anything stupid...

Well CDs do decay so if you did a partial install that could be the problem. If you did a full install, copying all the files to the hard drive, then I'm at a loss to explain it I'm afraid.

It sounds like your data files are corrupted. It can be caused by scratched CDs or bad clusters on your hard drive. I suggest that you scan your hard drive for errors (make a backup first).

To give you an example, if the file that contains information for the area you're in is corrupt, the game won't load. The same thing happens if a file that contains information about an item in your inventory is corrupt.

Errors in your saved games can also prevent the game from loading. That sort of thing usually happens when one of your characters has an invalid item in his inventory. If you did any sort of editing with ShadowKeeper or installed a mod that changed the items in the game, that might be the cause.

I'm sorry, but that's all that I can think of. I hope this helps.
