I am having lots of problems with my BG2/ToB. I have no idea what the problem is, so I thought I would ask if anyone else had this problem, or had any suggestions on how to solve it.

When I first start playing the game, it functions fine. Within 15 minutes, however, it starts to slow down. It gets progressively worse, until it switches to a blue screen stating that memory is low. After I get back to the game screen, everything runs in super slow motion until I not only quit the game, but completely shut down and restart my computer.

I do not have this problem with any of my other software, and I shut down everything in the background before playing. I have a 933Mhz Pentium 3 with 640MB memory (I added a chip to get to this point, with no effect whatsoever on game play). I also have a 80 gig hard drive, so I seriously don't think it is a hardware issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, with no effect.

Has anyone else had similar problems? I know I am getting sick of playing for 30-45 minutes, then restarting my computer. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!
