If that still doesn't work, then open your Morrowind.ini file (located right in the installed Morrowind folder (you may have to click the 'Compatibility Files' tab in the top-right corner to see this file)) and find the Archives section. If that fails, then return to the Morrowind.exe properties and, in addition to the previous, try running it in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode.
I recommend you paste your entire Morrowind, or Bethesda Softworks, folder to your root C:\ directory - so its install path is, for example, C:\Morrowind.Īfter that, you can try right-clicking the Morrowind.exe file in the installed Morrowind folder and choosing the Run as Administrator option, then try playing. I recommend simply moving the whole Morrowind (or Bethesda Softworks) folder to a new location on your hard drive because the default install location (C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind) has so many permission restrictions (and other weird things of different kinds that nobody really understands) that it's just a bad place to run Morrowind from. ^)įirst, I recommend you try the simplest solution, which also happens to be the one that seems to work for most everybody. Unfortunately, there is no one solution to it that works for everybody. This is a very common error message to get after installing the Bloodmoon expansion. Error message - 'Failed to load snowflake: Meshes\BM_Snow01.nif'
