I have recently installed NWN1 on my laptop. (The attached is a screenshot of my system specs.)

Problem:
I load the game and try to leave the prologue to enter chapter 1, when I do the game crashes to the desktop. I have installed the critical update, ran as admin, altered compatability settings. I have even unlocked all chapters and loaded into chapter one. After the conversation with the guy that runs up to you I go to the door to leave and talk to Aribeth and the game crashes to desktop. I have also tried making a new character and starting in chapter 1 and doing the same thing but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been waiting a long while just to play this game. Thank you in advance.

Edit: I have even done the fresh install into its own directory in C:

I can't help you with Windows 10, but there is a caveat on the game page:
"Please be advised that Windows 10 operating system will receive frequent hardware driver and software updates following its release; this may affect game compatibility"

Also, you posted an attachment with your Windows product ID plainly visible. Remove it!

My appolagies. I have just been at it for a while and getting a bit flustered.

So the best thing would be to install an older OS I am thinking?

Or scout around for an old/er computer and keep the one you have as is for work/whatever. NWN is an old game, so you shouldn't have any issues with it on a Vista, or even XP machine. You could use such a machine, maybe a laptop, for older games. Only you know your circumstances, and what would suit you best. Windows 10 is not the OS to be playing old games on, though.

Yes I was just about to ask that. I already started installing XP on VirtualBox and going to go that route. lol Thank you all for your time. :)
