Thanks for the welcome and the info.
Sometimes this is the case, sometimes a re-release is the original version with the patches included on disc. Very rarely a re-release has new programming that makes the origional patches dangerous, this is the case with the BG1 2(3?) disc version.

BG2 needs the official ToB patch installed. Also the baldurdash unofficial patch is widely regarded as standard, in that many of the bugs we see here are fixed by baldurdash. It also removes a few exploits and suchlike. Its virtualy impossible for a sane person to screw up the install enough to damage the game, so dont worry about that.
