check the hardware config, make sure that you enable 3D acceleration and adjust everything to maximum PC level.

wrong. Disable 3D acceleration. My BG2 used to run slow as hell. Someone told me to:

1. Start menu--->run
2. type in dxdiag
3. go to the tab that says graphics (or maybe display, don't remember)
4. Disable 3d Acceleration

BG2 should run muuuuch faster now. 3D acceleration isn't even needed to play BG2. Having it on only slows down the game, it doesn't add anything to it. Remember to enable it again using the same process when you want to play a different game.
