Luckily, I had it saved in the dungeon and looked around some more. It's the same thing with the "Kill the BLANK at such and such dungeon (Imp, whatever)", where you kill 20 BLANKS, but not THE RIGHT BLANK. Anyway, I found the Saints Hair somewhere else in the dungeon. Generally, a message will appear saying "MR BLANK will be happy you got his stuff" kind of thing. On another note, besides the buggy quests, I've had very few crashes with this game, maybe once or twice in several days of gaming. I have a Gateway P5-120 w/ 32 meg RAM, older Ensoniq card, and I've been running the game in Win95. It definitely seems that the crashes are highly system dependent..... Brian
