Where did you install it? If you typed in a different directory, try the default one. Otherise I'm not sure I can help

The weird thing is that I used the default one... It's a real tricky problem. The funny this is that when I'm to open the game, the option "uninstall" is available in the windows start poll. That way it must be installed! I don't understand a thing, but I'll uninstall it and reinstall it, maybe then it'll work... who knows?

By the way, thanks!

I just wish I could get the damn game to install again. it always shuts down at about 70% and this is after it tells me I dont have enough hd space to do a full install when i have about 15 gigs available.... go figure. I wonder if its a compatibility issue with newer computers and stuff cause it works ok on my old piece of junk pc.

That's a thought!

maybe it doesn't like your video card or something.

I have a simelar(S?) problem with Heroes of Might and Magic 4 the thing i do is to take out the cd then put it in again then the autorun come up and the game work because then all options are available. Have you try that?

And when you have installed the game try to get the lates patch for it and patch it BEFORE you try to play it!! And also try to install the game where it will be installed usaly in c:\programfiles\baldursgate or some thing like that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Theres a bug in the windows API (Actualy there are hundreds, but who counting?) where at certain values it reports the HDD size incorrectly. Sometimes if you *lower* the free size the bug goes away . Make a duplicate of c:/program files to eat up some space and see if that helps.

I reinstalled the game, and I obviously must have done something different from the first time because now it's working like a charm! Thanks all of you who helped out!
