I posted this problem on the old board, and reported it to the Interplay support as well, but still I don't have a solution.
Problem description: When I go upstairs in the Asylum to find allies for my fight against Irenicus in his Lab, I meet Lonk the Sane.
A second or two later Irenicus teleports in and starts the same dialogue as when I entered the Asylum the first time. It continues then the same way, means I'm put to sleep (even when I scatter my party, attack Irenicus, etc), teleported into the glass tube and two Irenicus greets me wit the phrase:" Ah my visitor has awakened." and the dialogue continues with all answer options. Then the screen moves from glass tube to glass tube where all the Shadow thieves get killed the first time, but this time they are empty and returns to me. After that I can walk around in my Aquarium, but of course not out of it. I also can't rest, because my party is scattered. The rest of my party is locked up in the cell in the NW and has blue circles. If I chose to attack Irenicus, Imoen, Saemon, or Bodhi it starts again with the greeting dialogue of Irenicus in his lab. With every restart of the dialog a new version of Saemon and Bodhi is created. After loop continued for the eight time the game crashes.

I have installed the patch, even when in the read me for the patch there is no mentioning of this strange bug. I deinstalled the game and reinstalled it (this time full). Still Irenicus appears and the loop starts.
The hard disk id defragged and also scandisk shows no problems.
The Interplay support told me to delete all files in the BGII temp and data/cache folder. Also I checked that no other programs were runinng.

Any ideas?
I'm willing to forward the save to anybody who might have an idea.

The first strange thing I found out was, when I missed all the items from the shadow lord dungeon. I don't miss all the books and letters, or the sun gem, but the missing Crom Faer scroll is a loss. As a good character I don't litter. So I place all my used items like keys and letters in a chest in my keep.
