Crashes?

Daggerfall crashes, as far as I can tell at random. I don't get any error message, there's no evident problem before it does, it just closes. It hadn't started doing this until I installed the Daedrafall mod. I've now reinstalled the game, don't have any mods though I'd like to try Andyfall if I can figure out how the blasted thing works, and it still crashes, still apparently at random.

Help?

Welcome to the Uesp forums! I unfortunately don't know anything about daggerfall, but maybe adding some computer specs to the info you've provided might help.

Well, I've got a Geforce FX 5200, running windows XP. My computer's info says I have 1.49 gb of RAM. I'm not sure what I've got for sound stuff and I can't find where I'd check.
I installed Daggerfall with a utility for XP compatability, which included the 2.13 patch. Can't think of anything more that might be relevant.

I've heard before that daggerfall is notoriuos for it's crashing but it wasn't enough for people to be overly annoyed by it. Specs look good to me, I knew about dosbox and the 2.13 patch, so as far as I know everything is right so far. Sorry but I'm no more help than that.

Just to verify, are you using dosbox to play daggerfall? If not head to dosbox "dot" sourceforge "dot" net to get it. Also that utility is just an installer and nothing else.

Nope, not using Dosbox. Have it now, from that sourceforge site, but it either tells me the CD isn't in the correct drive, if I try and run daggerfall with the CD, or that I don't have the correct CD in the drive, if I try and run it after fixing up the game to run without CD using the internet's instructions.
