I used to have similar problems till I figured out what the problem was. Did you recently copy your saved files to another directory or cd by any chance. That was my problem. I saved everything (including my saved games of BG) to a CDRW while I re-formatted my computer. When I re-installed my game and imported my saved files, I kept getting errors. I tracked it down to the read/write attributes of the files. I'm not sure at the moment what they're supposed to be but if you play around you could probably figure it out.
The game also has to be installed exactly the same as before. With BG1 I tried to reinstall game and saves but it didn't work because i didn't intall TOTSC as i had when my games were actually saved. Once TOTSC was installled, it worked fine.

Hope all tis help
