When i trying to reinstall my nwn game the cd1 goes ok ,but when it asks cd2 it reads it while then i get error message: stream read error.

Same things happened when i trying start my nwn HoU using autoplay in cd-drive. it only starts folder where it is installed. not directly cd.

ALL CD:s are original versions and game version is also latest possible 1.62.

What to do?

My Computer is:

AMD athlon xp 2800+
gigabyte 7N400-L motherboard
512 ddr-sdram transcend jetram
Samsung 120 gb
Samsung 80 gb
Seagate 80 gb
Mitsumi CR-487ETE cd/rw drive
HIS Excalibur 9800 pro IceQ
Sb audigy 2

what is the best possible equipment for a pure high elf mage in the end game?
ive already thought out what i thought to be the best assassin which is a khejit wearing the ancient shrouded set, 2 daedric daggers with 2 enchants each, a daedric bow with 2 enchants, the nightweavers band, and krosis ( due to a glitch ) agree/disagree??

so obviously you can see i want the best possible characters, so i can be a total beast
but im new to mage, so what is the best possible equipment for a pure high elf mage?
i got some ideas from other sites and youtube and such:
i read that it is best to just disenchant any of the destruction spell robes as well as the restoration spell robes, then enchant the 4 pieces of dragonscale armor with those, and it will cost NO magicka for restoration and destruction spells which is amazely helpful, also use the dragonpriest mask that helps mages. not sure for a ring or necklace what to use, also do mages use staffs lol? or just there hands,? they to beastly for weapons,

also for that assassin build i realized i left out a necklace for it so not sure what to use there.

I thought it would be useful to put together a list of all the side-quests in Targos. I've recently started a game, so this should all be fresh in my memory. I also did a little experimenting at key points by taking different dialogue paths, then going back and doing it another way to see if more experience resulted. I've put down what I know/can remember about what is required to get the dialogue string and the reward. Feel free to add comments, verification, clarification, sarcastic criticism, etc.

In rough order from the start of the game:

1) Reig and his broken arm (Docks, guard). You can get two chunks of experience from him. If you talk to him with a character with healing skills (maybe not druid, but I know it works with cleric and paladin), you can heal him after speaking to him. The dialogues for different types of clerics are fascinating, as well. The second chunk of experience comes from giving him a healing potion.

2) Guthewolfe's charm (Docks, warrior-seller in the tavern). Play his "game" and win a wolf charm. Winning costs a bit of money, and needs a non-dwarf character with very high Con. 18 Con is enough, but 16 is not.

3) Hedron's mother (Docks, southernmost centre house). Two ways to get experience. First, save her from goblins. Second, if you first show her the dead cat from the northern warehouse, then talk to the mercenaries at the palisade, you can get XP for telling her how the cat died.

4) Kolumn (Targos, house in west). Get on his case about being a grave robber - I can't recall if this quest gives XP or just money. There may be an alignment restriction on this dialogue.

5) Traitor (Targos, house north of Ulbrec's). Talk to him, expose him, kill him. Anybody know if you get more XP for identifying the charred scrolls first?

6) Weeping Widow (Targos, inn, upstairs, night). Two ways to get rid of her. First way is to exorcise her with a priest. Gives significantly less XP than option 2. Option two is talk to her, talk to the innkeeper about her, who tells you you talk to the tavern keeper. Talk to the tavernkeeper, who has a piece of her husband's boat and is willing to give it to you. Show it to the ghost. She gives you XP and so does the innkeeper. This is quite a complicated quest with several ways to get XP. Make sure you get the ghost-touched bottle from the innkeeper, then identify it and talk to Ulbrec's wife about it - then get a ghost tear when you get rid of the ghost, which can be made into a magical dagger or extra cash.

7) Doppelganger (Targos, temple). Get letters from doppelganger, take them to the head priest. Kill doppelganger if you wish for more XP; one of the clerics gets annoyed with you, but not hostile.

Valin (Targos, temple, diviner lying down). Talk to Ulbrec's wife first about whether magic has been helpful against the goblin horde. Then "talk" to Valin, who will mention braehg. Go to Guthwulfe, who drinks the stuff, and either buy it or pickpocket it. Give it to Valin. Get XP from Valin AND from Ulbrec's wife for curing him. If you want money, you can pickpocket him blind (you will also find a note, which is the other way of being notified to give him braehg).

9) Oswald (Targos, gnome at airship). I think you can fake him into believing he owes you money. I can't recall if this gives you XP. Requires bluff skill?

10) Olap (Palisade, north, dwarf engineer). Speak to Shawford Crale, who gives you a multitude of little quests. Speak to Olap, who sends you to talk to a merchant. Go back to Olap, who sends you to Jorum (Docks, dwarven shipbuilder). Fix the crane.
