I have a problem with playing Baldur's Gate II on my home desktop PC. Basically, I had installed it about 2 years ago but later decided to uninstall it for a while (BIG mistake that I am truly regretting now).

Now that I want to reinstall it and replay it, this is what I face...

1) When I go to Control Panel, followed by Add/Remove Programs, I see the following

Baldur's Gate(TM)II - Shadows of Amn(TM)

I highlight this and press the Add/Remove button. To the question "Do you want to completely remove the selected application and all of its components?" question, I press "OK".

InstallShield Wizard pops up and supposedly removes the program. However, the Baldur's Gate (TM)II-Shadows of Amn(TM) item still remains in the reloaded Add/Remove Programs list

2) I now decide to try playing the game instead, since the computer insists that it is still there. I load the CD rom and in the opening screen, I see the option to PLAY, not INSTALL.

So, I click PLAY and receive this message:

"Since this is the first time you are running Baldur's Gate II, please take a moment to configure the game. Once you have your settings the way you want, click 'OK' to save your changes and the game will launch."

I click OK, the screen disappears and nothing happens [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img]

3) I load CD rom again and this time, I click on CONFIGURE instead. Nothing happens despite my repeated clicks, so I EXIT in despair

4) Last try. This time, I go straight to my D drive (where the CD rom is) and double-click the Setup file. InstallShield Wizard pops up and I receive the following message:

"Do you want to completely remove the selected application and all of its components?"

I click OK, the program seems to run and the pop-up screen disappears.

When I retry the Setup file again, the same message appears! [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

To summarise, I think my computer is confused as to whether or not it has BGII installed in it or not.

Please, if anyone knows how I can get rid of this mess, please let me know how to do so. Otherwise, I would have to wait for about another year before I get to play BG2 again, since that is when I would likely upgrade my PC... [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]
