Welcome to the forums heres afew things to try first of all.

1. Try downloading the latest drivers for your GFX Card

2. Do you have a soundblaster card (if so download latest drivers for that aswel)

3. Are you using Windows Blinds (incase you dont know what it is
Windows Blind is a program that changes the look of Windows by changing all the buttons and the textures of windows. If you have it running it will show up in your task manager as wbload.exe) If so try disabling that if all else fails.

Fable used to crash for me during the arena because I used the key glitch, have you exploited any of the glitches in the game no matter how small, it could have corrupted your gamesave which would explain the crashing? You could try lowering the texture, effects, shadows and refresh rate in the game options to see if that helps as well...

While I'm here... is you disc clean?

Go to ATI's website and find latest driver downloads for your card.

I don't know what the problem is but I still can't play this game ........I can go anywhere in the game except for when I start looking for the bandits and then the screen just goes black but I can still hear the sounds of the game and there is not an upgrade for my graphics card ....so I don't know what to do........to look for my windows blinds I just click on task manager right?.....and if so then I can't see it anywhere ........so it must be my graphics card..but I don't have any problems with other microsoft games and the graphics card that I have was just put into my puter in December 2005........I just don't know what to do:blush:
