hon, it sounds like something is really wrong with your install. not choosing where to put your installation reveals something is messed up in your registry.

i recommend a full uninstall, then getting a program like RegCleaner from MS or a second party freebie and cleaning your reg out thoroughly. dump out all your temp files and be prepared to start the game from scratch.

once game saves get corrupt, they can quickly corrupt your current maps and stuff, too. so tis not surprising that the problem escalated. the BG games did that for me, until i found some hints from the devs on what to do to clear it out.

(EDIT)
also, when you uninstall, remove the editor. ya wanna start with a clean slate here!
