A question or two regarding MGE and MGSO

Post by CharlesthePlant »

Firstly, apologies if I'm treading old ground here, but after looking through previous threads on related topics I couldn't find anything that quite answered my queries.

So! Morrowind Graphics Extender: I'm guessing I'm not the only one that cannot get this to run on a Windows 7 system with an integrated graphics chipset? I've attempted the most common solutions (downloading latest version of MGE, run as administrator, change/add .bsa order in Morrowind.ini, changing graphical settings and running the game briefly before opening MGE setup) as well as some more long-winded ones, but all I get is "Morrowind Graphics Extender has stopped working", etc. etc.. Weird thing is, when I first got my laptop around 18 months ago, I seem to remember installing and using the extender without issue. Is the problem, then, related to newer graphics drivers' compatibility with the program? Is anyone running a newer O/S with integrated graphics and having more luck? If so, what's your secret? ;)

I also see a lot of mention of the Morrowind Overhaul project, which looks really great, but is MGE an integral part of it? 'Cause I might have a problem if so :P
