    runblack.exe won't start anymore

    FanPatch v1.42 already has NoCD crack on the runblack.exe. If you re-installed B&W, then you'll need to install official patches v1.10 & v1.20 before the v1.42 FanPatch. Not sure if that helps.

    Creature Isle boots to black screen then crashes

    Having looked into this and dgVooDoo2, it appears to be a memory issue for graphics accelerators above 128mb VRAM. I worked with the dgVooDoo2 drivers and got CI working with better textures, but the mouse is not clicking inside the game window.  Thus, I was unable to work the game with the...

    Can't install game from ISO...

    FanPatch v1.4.2 requires the previous official patches of v1.10 and v1.20 to be installed.  Otherwise the game will start and crash after the small intro at the first loading screen. I have other threads out there on how to install the official patches.

    Creature Isle boots to black screen then crashes

    Having paid more attention, my CI also has very bad textures.  Like during game cut-scenes, the faces of the population are barely recognizable, whereas the original game had better textures. It seems CI shares the same settings as the original game.  I'm not sure of the copy protection on CI...

    1.4 Patch crashes game?

    Sounds to me like the v1.10 and v1.20 Official patches were not installed prior to the FanPatch.

    Help please! My game keeps getting a Runtime Error and then crashes.

    https://www.bwfiles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8305.0 Just thinking outside the box and trying to remember what differentiated Windows XP from Windows 10. Older Windows programs were heavily reliant upon paths and environmental variables that have changed over the years as Windows has become more...

    An installation support file could not be installed. Catastrophic failure

    I have placed a few threads out there with reference to this problem.  However, I found another fix to this.  You'll have to pay attention and follow the instructions to the letter though. Official Patches sometimes give this message even when run as administrator. Go to the folder "C:\Program...

    Help please! My game keeps getting a Runtime Error and then crashes.

    Personal experience with the error. I've also fixed it another way that is a little more complicated, and retains the default location for install.

    Help please! My game keeps getting a Runtime Error and then crashes.

    I would re-install in a folder that does not include special characters, such as ......(x86)\.....\Black & White A quick way to do this is to delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information\{E51B4CD9-A0A6-4324-B26A-31B3F2DE26CE} to the recycle bin and make a backup of...

    Help pls, want this game to be running

    Official patches *MUST* be installed to use FanPatch 1.42. Look at my other posts reference special characters in the folder name with official patches.  This was what seemed to be glitching my installation out.

    Creature Isle on Windows 10

    Am I correct to assume you are using Windows 10 64-bit? If so, I have posted a few other threads a fix I used to install B&W and official patches.  Patches have started glitching while trying to access 32-bit folders with special characters "the & sign in folder name Black & White".  32-bit...

    Install Shield Engine not Installing? (Patch error)

    This is a permissions issue.  Sounds to me like you need to "Run As Administrator".

    Can't Install Creature Isle or Patches - Win 10

    Uninstall the game completely. Re-install the game using a different name without the default (&) sign in the game.  (The official patches glitch out on 64-bit systems with the & sign in the directory name.) I created a "C:\Legacy\Black-N-White\" folder and adjusted folder attributes to...

    Running Black & White on Windows 10

    I had similar issues with Windows 10 64-bit (newly installed OS (not upgraded from previous version), all current OS patching completed).  Turns out the official game patches ABSOLUTELY HATE the Black & White folder naming conventions with special characters.  (Largely due to the fact x86 OS had...
