Title says it all I know how to save but how do you load?

When the main menu comes up there will be several choices.
One will be Load Game. Choose that one by pressing the L key on your keyboard.

To the best of my knowledge, in a Gold Box game, you need to exit the game and start it up again to load a game. It's kind of shit. I think they are trying to encourage you not to save scum your way through the game, since restarting the entire game is such a hassle.

Yeah I realised this later thank you. You seem to know your way around was wondering what I'm missing with combat extra options, ie: when I enable quick mode I see them sweeping and attacking multiple times but I cant get them to do it in aim mode. I should have 2 magic missiles with my mage but he only fires 1 I did 2 damage one time which is impossible at lev 3??

So, to the best of my knowledge, your fighters will sweep when they attack while surrounded by low level creatures. This happens a lot in Pool of Radiance, never seen it in Curse of the Azure Bonds, and that's as far as I've played.

As for Magic MIssile, you won't see extra missiles. You'll just see the damage steadily go up. In Curse, I was routinely seeing Magic Missile hit for 20+ damage towards the end of the game.

yeah ok I thought it might work that way I still think I'm missing something as ive never been able to intiate any of the specials in combat. As to the magic missile idk what is happening I think honestly its a glitch, it even says in the manual that magic missile does 2-5dmg and goes up every 2levels. So, my level 3 magic user should never be able to achieve 2 damage. lolz. ty tho just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious. One last question I didn't build my party with all multi-class the way most people say because of level cap. Is it super important to roll a certain way? I am considering transferring my party as I go as well, or should I bother? Ty again

I beat Pool of Radiance with a party of three single class fighters, and a single class thief, magic user and cleric. It went just fine for me. I even had characters die every now and again, and I just rolled with it and paid the raise dead fee, even though their constitution went down. The game is perfectly beatable playing it in a non min maxed way. I've done it.

Did you forget to mention what *game* you're asking about? Or, is the forum simply supposed to guess until we get it right?...;)

This has happend several times now. I assume people are looking at the game in their library, click on more and forum and think that they are posting in a forum for that game, while they are actually in a forum for a whole series of games.
