OK, you can remove a BIOS password if you have the system manual. Since everyone loses those as well youll need to find part numbers and so on and so forth, and will need to find the appropriate data on the internet. Since this is complex and not neccesary at the present time, I will go no further.

Turning 3d off is the opposite of what I suggested, but only because the fact that the software blits were greyed out suggested that 3d was already off.

Glsetup never fails. Ever. Except under winXP when sometimes there are no appropriate drivers. Or if you have an extremely unuual card. Laptop integrated graphics maybe, or just really old. Dunno really. If you are running XP you *need* to patch your game. Hell, patch it anyway, save yourself the trouble of doing it mid-game. Get the baldurdash fixpacks as well.

The game does look terrible once you disable the nice sexy alpha-blending and transperency of the 3d-card, but you get used to it. And if you have time to notice such things in the heat of battle your pausing too much.
