Any suggestions?

Running Win 7 and downloaded the latest patch.

Any fatal errors generally require DEINSTALLING (completely) and then RE-installing (from original program)...

Sometimes these errors are generated if you have copied over the program to a new computer rather than installing it... this does not put in the proper stuff into the Windows registry, and you will get a fatal error. Could this be the case???

EDIT: You can also get fatal errors by not installing in correct sequence... we are talking WITP here, not WITP-AE.

You need to install original file (1.00 to 1.803), then do the comprehensive patch 1.804... then install the 1.806 patch... if you do it out of order, or skip the comprehensive patch, you will get a fatal error... and then need to deinstall and start over.

Also, be sure to install in default locations... attempting to install to (say) the PROGRAM FILES folder under Windows 7 can lead to problems (i.e. - fatal errors).

Thank you sir! I had overlooked that there are two comprehensive updates. (I guess they are semi-comprehensive) I had only installed 1.806 comprehensive. Now they have a v1804 comprehensive update as well, which I'm guessing combines the 1.803 you mention and 1.804, because 1.803 no longer seems to be an option. But it loaded fine, so you were a great help.

Actually 1.806 is NOT comprehensive.

i should have stated the process as this:

Step 1: Install your original (any version that could be 1.00 through 1.803) - i.e, if you original disk has 1.00, or anything up to 1.803 - install this first.

2. Then install 1.804 comprehensive patch - i.e., you could go from 1.00 (or if you had something earlier than 1.804) thus upgrading to 1.804 directly.

3. Install the 1.806 patch (non-comprehensive).

So, in my case, i install 1.00, upgrade to 1.804 comprehensive, then 1.806.

There is no need to try to upgrade to "1.803" first - that was just clumsy phrasing on my part.
