Why wont it run?

I downloaded this game from direct 2 drive, installed the file.... and I can't do anything.

Here are my Lap Top's Specs...

Mobile AMD Sempron Processor 1.8 Gigs
2 Gigs of Ram
ATI Radeon Xpress 1150
Good sound card
Directx 10

Windows Vista Home Premium

Whenever I click on the icon and try to play the game, a message pop ups saying ToEE.exe has stopped working?

I am not sure why?

Have you tried running it in Compatibility mode? Vista's a bitch.
Also, search for the Circle of Eight Modpack. It contains many fixes.

I have installed the Circle of 8 modpack...still doesnt work....

what is compatibility mode?

Compatibility Mode is activated by rightclicking in Windows on the .exe of the game and selecting "Run in compatibility mode with Win98".

Ok... new problem,

I got it to "run" but now it just opens up gamespy and claims I dont qualify for a liscene and wants me to download the install file again?

Try asking on the Gamespy fora? I've got a cd-copy, so I didn't have any Gamespy issues.
I wish I could help you. Maybe someone else around here can, so don't despair.

The download version of this game is notoriously bad. Not sure if it's just that it doesn't take patches well or what, but since the game is almost unplayable without patches, it doesn't really matter.

I've heard the jewel box version is bad for some as well. If you can get it in the box, that's your best option.

So ok, I can get the game working but I can't save? Well I can but I can't reload the save file?

You'll have to describe the exact problem/error. Does your savegame list appear empty? Is there no load game button?

When I try to load the game file it says that the file is corrupt and will not load.....
then when i Try to start a new game the NPCs are not present in the opening scenes....

Check out the fora at sorcerersplace.net I think there's a lot more knowledge present there about this game than here. No offense to anyoone.

What's the URL, the one you listed doesn't work...

I can't get it to run. I had it working. Got tired of not being able to loot correctly then downloaded the patches (Patches! I don't need no stinking Patches). Now every time I try to run it, the screen goes black, I get excited. Then like a woman it quits and teases me. I have the disks.
