The problem is that now my game is corrupted like before and I can't get the dialogue box to enter Sturmford. This is really getting irritating! I do have a previous save to go back to this time but I now know that using an editor wasn't what caused it.

I was reloading this from a quicksave I made. Does that mess it up?

Incidentally, I've never installed this game into any special partition and I've played it several times before, once on this same computer, and not had this problem. I've also played it on another computer with XP and on one with Windows millennium edition. No problem until now. And I JUST reinstalled it.
