if you have notes on what to root out when uninstalling, that might be helpful.

I only re-started BGII a few weeks back after a gap of a few years - and have installed & reinstalled a few times since. I eventually got to the stage where I have no killer bugs (except hulks) and went on to ToB which hardly has any bugs at all.

I started a new game to run alongside my uber-PC in ToB and then found all these area problems arose, yet with a different PC, I had completed the game just days earlier. I have save games from before completing BGII and they seem to load OK, yet the next run doesn't.

I have lost track of which patches/mods I have installed, but it all worked fine after Baldurdash and the save game editor - in fact I wonder if the SGE fixed the hulk problem.

all the software should be there - no area info should be incomplete as I could go anywhere last time through - yet this time, area bugs galore.

I have that poisoned guy's corpse and a rhakshasha head rotting in a trunk as I can't move to the docks or trademeet!


UPDATE

since penning the above I decided to try the game out on my wife's laptop - it installed without a single hitch and by using a data key to bring across the official patch and a couple of saved games, I have BGII working perfectly. (so far at least)

for some reason it does not recognise the ToB expansion disk, so I may have to port my save-game back to the PC via the datakey when I reach the end of BGII - but it is very weird that I had a completely trouble-free install, when on my PC it has had problems every time.
