Re: Help please im at wits end on this.

Well, ive been runing nothing in the background, and im not running a firewall, ive tried all of the refresh rates on the few times in which i could get past the main menu, it also works just fine on my grandma's computer, i dont know why my computer is the only one it wont work on. and on the processor i have a AMD Athalon X2 Dual Core 3800+ for the processor a Gig of ram, and a Nivida GeForce 7300LE, drivers are up to date, so i dunno if i cant get it to work ill just play on another computer i guess, thanks for trying.
 
Re: Help please im at wits end on this.

Sounds exactly like a problem I had with my Age of Empires Two awhile back. Clean your disk, reinstall, then restart your computer. It should work.

EDIT: Using a 'scratch doctor' to clean the disk is usually better then using a kleenex or something...Never know what's going to happen with those things.

The disc is working on other computers, so if it was the disc it wouldn't work at all.

Ah. Try reinstalling and restarting then. Maybe a file got messed up in the install or something.
 
Re: Help please im at wits end on this.

Unfortunatly ive tried that as well, and it has done nothing.
 
Re: Help please im at wits end on this.

Tried that yesterday, someone mentioned it on the other page, it ran for about 5-10 min's after instaling that but it was really laggy, which i know it couldnt be hardware, like i said my computer runs games like Call of duty 4, F.E.A.R., Crysis, Pro Street, and Stalker all without any problems.
 
Re: Help please im at wits end on this.

Hey there - I had multiple crashes, particularly at save points, but not exclusively. Sometimes it would simply exit out to windows at random. I also experienced the black screen with music playing, and the loss of text for no good reason. I nearly chucked the game to the curb (VERY frustrating!)..but found somethings that worked. Two things were recommended;

1) Lowering all of the graphics settings was highly recommended. I have no idea why, in that I have a newer card, more than capable of handling a slightly older game like this - but I did it anyway. A noticable difference in quality, but nothing horrific. You'd have to experiment with just how high you can get away with - I currently have all of my settings at there lowest out of desperation.

2) I heard rumors that it might not run with stability on a duo core processor. Again, no clue why. But start the game, alt+tab to jump out of it, ctrl+alt+del to get at 'fable.exe', then right click it, access 'affinity', and uncheck one of the processors (apparently doesn't matter which) - alt+tab back into the game.

I followed these two suggestions, and am now completely free of any crash. I've multiple hours and multiple saves into now, with complete success. Hope something here helps out. **** will drive you bats.
 
Re: Help please im at wits end on this.

Aw I heard of dual cores causeing problems in some games too I didn't think about fable cause its still quite new...
 
Re: Help please im at wits end on this.

Thank you soooooooo, much, that fixed it, it runs fine now, the dual core thing fixed it all.
 
Re: Help please im at wits end on this.

I have a dual core processor and I can run any game that I throw at my computer... Well, glad you found a solution :thumbsup:
