Help! BG won't run properly!

Kiyatha · 07-21-2002, 12:36 PM

I've got a real problem with my copy of Baldur's Gate. Everytime I start it up, and the main menu appears the only options available are "install" "view readme" "watch demos" and something else that I cannot remember. After installing the game, it all runs terrificly (a bit slow, but otherwise good) until the next time I wish to play it, when the options available are the same as before, and I have to install it again! Must I install it everytime I wish to play???? This is the second time I play BG after a long time, and I've never had this problem before...

PLEASE HELP!

Try asking a the BG1-forum. It's listed under the 'Ironworks Classics'.

Yeah, I know... but there's almost always empty in there, so I takes ages before somebody answeres. But you're right, I will.

I take it your talking about the auto run. Find the folder where you installed BG too and double click baldur.exe, see if that works. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Clicking Baldur.exe in the folder where I installed the game doesn't work either...

But thanks for the tip, though!

Ok then I'm not sure. Did you install the game to a folder, then move that folder by any cahnce?

Kiyatha · 07-21-2002, 12:58 PM

Nope... nothing like that.

okay this is a long shot, but maybe it is your registry, do you have windows 98?

hang on, what actually happens when you click baldur.exe

Well, the main menu pops up, with the picture of Sarevok and the music and all that. The problem is, that the only options available are "install" "view readme", "view demos" and "exit". This is after I've installed it!
