i installed a pretty basic game on my computer. so basic, in fact, that it runs on my old 20gb hd, 756mhz, 512 mb RAM, windows XP, butterfly computer. my problem is that this very basic game WILL run on the new CPU that i have now, but it will not allow me to connect to any other computer in the game via lan. the game is baldur's gate 2 shadows of amn. the new computer i have:3gb of ram, 2.0ghz dual core intel, 500gb hd, windows vista home premium, fujitsu lifebook n-series. the problem starts whenever i try to host or join another game. once i do that, the game simply minimizes and tells me that BG2SOA has encountered a problem and must close. ive checked my firewall, and made certain that the game is on the exceptions list...ive reinstalled it, and attempted the ol' restart trick(usually works). but nothing makes it so that i can lan. anyone have a suggestion?
