Can any one say how to get Baulder's gate to work on windows xp? and Baulder's gate2

please.

Did you try setting compatibility within XP?

You could try playing with the compatibility settings like Karka said. Someone -- Baley, I think -- gave detailed instructions in how to do that in my Fallout thread, screenshots and all. Might help

I will check out the fallout thread then

Twas Jags.

 

This is very strange.

 

I've never had any trouble with any of the IE games on XP.

 

Wha type of an error do you get?

The tip in the fallout thread worked so i need no help now. hmm where can i get a patch for baulder's gate2?

I've never had a problem getting any of the BG games to work in XP. If it doesn't work once you've patched I can't think what you'd do.

I believe that theres a direct x patch foir balduirs gate toi woirk in xp.....

It could be a service pack causing issues. I heard the SP2 pack causee some games not to work. I have XP on all of my machines and never had any problems running IE games. I also have SP1 installed since I heard about SP2 problems with games.

SP2 is the worst invention M$ ever made.

 

Oh how I love my SP1 version of XP

I refuse to install SP2. I try to tell people all the time about SP2 and no one seems to listen, despite the fact that I am an IT Professional.

 

When I work on other people's PCs, I alter their NTOSKRNL.EXE file, just so SP2 can't install. If the installer detects a modified kernel, it will refuse to install.

I just refuse to allow it to update

 

It's a pain because it pops up every time I turn on my comp, but meh, no biggie, it leaves me SP2 free

You can disable the Automatic Update service.

 

In fact, there are several services you can disable in Windows to improve performance. Google for a guide. I know blackviper.com has one.

I'll have to do that

SP2 sucks a$$. What kind of update would screw up your computer so you can't play games on it?

What kind?

 

the Microsoft kind. <_<

Long live the evil empire.

I hate microisoiift.....

I have atleast gotten bg2 to work so i need no help thanks.
