About two years ago, I bought BG1 and TotSC over the internet. I got the three disc version - 2 discs for the game and 1 for the expansion.

I did the recommended install and played the game as normal. A very good game, I might add. However, I was a bit curious as to why it was asking for the next disc quite frequently and so early on in the story... as of the game was spread over more discs...

So, I entered Nashkel... "Please insert disc 3", what? I don't have a disc three! Why do you think I have a disc three?!?!?

After searching on the internet, I discovered that this happened if you patched the game with TotSC. I thought this was strange, as I hadn't done that - I had done it properly anyway. Ah well, I may as well re-do it.

Nope; I still can't get into Nashkel. Time to email Interplay, methinks. After a few lengthy exchanges over many weeks (it takes about 2 or 3 days for them to reply), they said it was out of their hands because they only deal with American copies of the game. I had a European one. They directed me to the European enquiries.

Okay, let's visit the website... oh, it's in french

Hmmm, I'll send it by post then.

**AAAAAGES LATERR*

Ah, still no reply. I guess I'll make sure I got the right address - back to Interplay! They then tell me that since my email, many people have asked about the same thing... hmmm...

Right, let's try snail-mailing the European people again... Nope, no reply. Hmmm what can I do? Aha! A refund! So, I contacted the place I bought it from.... Oh, phooey, I've had the game for so long that I can't get a refund

So what can I do? Buy it again? I'm a kid - not made of money... Download the game? Illegal, yes, but since I payed for the game I think I deserve a copy! Arrgghhh two whole years!!!

*Sigh* Any help/advice/tips you could give me would be very much appreciated.

Oh by the way I got a brand new computer and it still doesn't work.
