Looks like it was just a coincidence because it was video card problems. I must not of played NWN long enough to run into the issue before hand because I re-installed fresh and had the same issue.

Anyways, I found this thread which describes the settings to change:

I have an nVidia GeForce8600 M GS. I installed the nvtray application an followed the screenshots given in the above thread (second post down) and it resolved the issue.

Hello,

I've installed the PRC and applied it to my modules (just the basic campaigns). I've built my characters using the builder and all works well (and very very cool). However, when I try to save the game the screen goes black and the game eventually crashes. Auto-saves seem to work fine. This has happened every time for the 2-3 characters that I've built.

I searched the forums but did not find anything. I'm running Windows 7, NWN Platinum.

Many thanks,
Oberon
