New player needs help!!

[tiphareth]

Recently I told a friend about how fantastic HG is and he's dying to play, we got all the files he needed installed but this is what happens when he tries to play ( he's using windows 7)

": so I open nwn just the game. hit play and my moniter goes to sleep. it appears that hitting play is causing the moniter to believe that the computer is turned off. this all started occuring after using all the updates to inable playing on the online server."

Is there anyone out there with any information that can help? Thanks!

for win7, I use
compatibility - Vista SP2
Settings - Disable Desktop composition
run at admin

I use the Acaos modded SDK.

What O/S?
Have him update his graphics driver. If that doesn't work, try starting up the game in Windowed mode by adding this to the nwn.ini :

[Display Options]
FullScreen=0
AllowWindowedMode=1

Need to run as admin and I would also change the shortcut from pointing to nwn.exe to nwmain.exe Win 7 doesn't seems to like nwn.exe for me.
