Cloudy, you are a lot of help actually...because I did DL the bonus-cd files (the ones with the extra merchants).
OK just to clarify... Our harddrive is partitioned into drives C, D, E, F.
We installed the game in D: and Windows is installed on drive C. Then we had to format drive C due to other problems, so the game was lost/deinstalled.
I deleted all the BG2 files from the D drive and am now trying to reinstall it.
I have no idea how the bonus cd thing can be a problem...but maybe someone here knows???
