This is very strange, all of these XP problems. I just recently did an OS upgrade from Win98 SE straight over the top to XP Professional with the classic 98 interface. I expected to have problems with my latest BG games, which had been installed and run under Win98, however so far things are running just fine. Fingers crossed of course.

I'm not overly skilled with XP, but there's still possible solutions for you, surely.
Perhaps the solution is upgrading again to Prof (if not already) or you could also try changing the baldurs exe file's compatibility in the properties tag, to that of a win95 file.
As a last resort, is to build a much cheaper computer for retro-ish gaming. I have a dx4-100 for whenever problems like this crop up. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Otherwise, try searching more forums for other instances of the problem. The Bioware forums would be a good start.

Cheers,
CerebroDragon
