Fix James Bond 007 Blood Stone Installer & Setup Crash, Audio Issues

Wake up folks, another Bond game is out. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of James Bond video games. But judging by the response this game has received in various gaming forums, it’s no secret that this gaming franchise has a large fan base from all corners of the world. Blood Stone is a third-person shooter with elements of hand-to-hand combat - its PC version was developed by High Moon studios. Anyways here’s our routing troubleshooting article for this game – it is a short post but hopefully you will be able to resolve those annoying crashing issues with Blood Stone, if you are having any.

Blood Stone Installer freezing and crashes to desktop

The most common problem people seem to be having with Blood Stone is the installer freezing/hanging or crashing issue. This seems to be related to DEP (Data Execution Prevention) in Windows Vista/Windows 7 based operating systems. If your installer crashes before the installation completes, try doing the following:

1. Go to Start->Run. Type cmd.exe and press enter.
2. In the command prompt, type bcdedit.exe/set nx AlwaysOff and press enter. This will turn DEP off.
3. Reboot the machine
4. Install Blood Stone

DEP is a security measure and it’s probably not the best idea to keep it disabled. Once Blood Stone installation is complete. do the following to re-enable DEP

1. Go to Start->Run. Type cmd.exe and press enter.
2. In the command prompt, type bcdedit.exe/set nx OptIn and press enter. This will turn DEP on.
3. Reboot the machine
