Help - BG won't run properly!

Kiyatha · 07-21-2002, 01:11 PM

First of all, sorry for posting this topic in the BG2 forum. The BG forum was empty, and I'm in dire need of help, so I thought I'd take a shot here instead, where it's a bit more crowded.

Won't happen again though!

Now to the problem;
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 doing a full uninstall, then manually remove any leftover BG1 folders, except the save folder which you can backup somewhere else. After doing this, reinstall the game and copy the save folder back( overriding the default save folder). Once all of this has been done, install the latest official patch for BG1.

Dundee, you're my hero! It's working like a charm (or how they say?)! Anyhow, thanks!
