I decided to re-install bg2 today, just wanted to play it. Never had ANY problems with it before. However, my lucky streak came to an end, I installed, in this order:
BG2
Offical Patch
Baldurdash
Ease of Use
Unfinished Business

I started the game and nothing, a black screen. I alt-tabbed out, bg2 was still running, and it was not marked as non-responsive. I then thought it might be a mod conflict or I had installed them in the wrong order. Anyway, I removed them in reverse order one by one, trying to launch each time with the same result. When I was just left with BG2 and the patch and fix pack I restored the following files:

dialog.tlk
chitin.key
baldur.ini
bgmain.exe
override folder

which I had made a copy of before installing mods, same result. Finally I uninstalled the game and emptied the folder completely, and re-installed bg2, without any patches, just off the DVD. Again, just the balck screen, although it did not crash back to desktop and again was still 'running' according to the task manager.

Any ideas? Help greatly appreciated.
