Well,,,I've been playing BG1 on an XP system for over a year now. And when I installed it,,it just loaded right up. I didn't need to do the "compatibility" fix at all. *However*....my version is the 'Original Saga' edition which comes on only 3 disks and already has the expansion embedded.
Don't give up, you should be able to get it to run unless your disks have become damaged.
