check the hardware config, make sure that you enable 3D acceleration and adjust everything to maximum PC level.
then check Graphics, make sure that you use 3D acceleration as well. If played under 1024X768, the game runs too slow, you might not have a good enough video card, go back to 800X600 res.

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. [/QUOTE]well, it may be wrong for you, but it's right for me. I've always have 3D acceleration on and play 1024 X 768, and the game rarely, if ever, runs slowly. Since my game runs smoothly that way, I gave that advice.
ADD:
ok, I just tested both ways. *On my computer* ( = might not be appliable to others' computers) there's no running speed difference as I felt it between enabling and disabling 3D acceleration. The only difference I can tell is very small visual quality thing: shadows and color lines are refined and delicated in 3D acelerated mode yet appeared to be pixelized in the non-3D acelerated mode.
