Hmmm. Sounds weird. If you haven't before, try doing a FULL install and then install the SOA patch. But before you do that, do a clean uninstall first. Make sure to remove any BG2 files and folders you want to keep before uninstalling; such as any saved games, the portrait folder, and custom items. After doing a clean uninstall (which also means removing the leftover BG2 folder after uninstalling and BG2 registry keys), then do a FULL install and the SOA patch. If all of the above still doesn't work, go to the official BioWare Tech help forum and see if you can post for help:
