After quite a bit of headdesking I finally got LOL to run on my pc, but there still remains a problem. It seems to run fine until it comes up for you to choose a character. Once it fades to black it then freezes. Any ideas as to what's wrong or if it's fixable?

Did you try running the game in DOSBox ?

Most older games don't work correctly on modern pc's (that is modern operating systems)

Sounds like a corrupt archive to me - try redownloading.

Tried it, no luck, still bombs. I even tried downloading it to the other pc in the house (newer and much faster than mine) and got the same problem. I'm really at a loss here.

It happened to me when I tried to run it under real DOS 6.22 in my older computer, but now I don't experience it under DOSBox in my newer one. But my guess is that it could have perfectly been the other way around. Try to tweak with the DOSBox options, even randomly.

Check for other executables in the game directory. Try running them.
