<font color='white'> When I am going from Brynn Shander to the Asylum the game just sort of freezes. I tried cleaning the disk, didn't work. I made a backup and reinstalled the game, still doesn't work. Downloaded the patch and that didn't work either. I am out of ideas.

I was thinking it was the Disk (Disk 3) but under My Compurter the drive seems to read it. So I dont know. Any help? </font>

There is a movie that normally plays upon entering the Asylum....if the file for this movie has become corrupted (through a scratched CD, perhaps), trying to play the movie will usually result in a computer lockdown. And a one-time solution won't work: The computer will attempt to play that movie every single time you go to Spellhold. You may have to find a friend who's willing to let you burn a copy of their Disc 3, to get the non-corrupted file.....or write to BioWare and do essentially the same thing.

Of course, that's IF my theory about the corrupted movie file is correct.

Under baldur.ini try setting all the things in the movie subsection to 0.

Not sure if that'll work, and if it doesn't, change it back. Just an idea though.


Edit:
In fact, looking at it, I'm 99% sure it won't work.

Grammar, I think movies with a value of 1 have been played while a value of 0 means it has yet to play. He'd have to set it to 1 to make the game think the movie has already been viewed.

i think if you send the broken cd in to bioware, they will replace it

If he has done a *full instal* he only need to instal whit a friends cd cous you drive whit cd2 all the way trough bg 2 whit a *Full instal*

i had the incredible bad luck of having my 2nd cd scratched...everything working except waukeens promenade...now that was bad considering i had no charachter outside irenicus dungeon...i was pretty much stuck and couldnt do a full install because my computer had so little memory...it was bad

<font color='white'> Hmm, ok, so what do I do? Write Bioware, explaint the problem and ask for a new Disk 3? </font>

That's a possible answer Iron_Ranger. They should give it to you free except for shipping and handling

<span style="color: lightblue">Put CD3 into your CDROM drive, go to a DOS prompt (Start - Run - type "command") and type this at the screen:
dir [driveletter]:\movie*.bif /s
Where [driveletter] is the letter given to your CDROM drive. It should come up with something like
Directory of [some path]
movies.bif {or possibly movie.bif}
1 File(s) displayed

Where [some path] is the folder it found it in. Then type:
copy [some path]\movies.bif C:\TestFolder\movies.bif (replace movies.bif with movie.bif if that was the filename displayed in the search). If this fails, we've found your problem.
