I bought the Baldur's Gate collection (BG1 + TotSC + BG2 + ToB) off Amazon.co.uk about two weeks ago. BG2 works without a problem. BG1 however...

Installs without a problem and then whatever language I chose during installation, be it english, or french, which is my Window's language, when I try running the game it tells me that BG1 requires an english version of Windows to run. Any way to get around this problem?

I had the same problem way back when I first bought it. I was using Arabic version of Windows (ME) back then. There is a patch made specifically to solve this. Try searching Bioware if not I'll see if I still have it.

On a side notice, it is XP you're using, isn't it?

Yep, I use XP. I'll search for that patch.

OK, I can't remember if it was a specific patch for this or just the regular patch. Are you patched?
