I bought the game on ebay and it works fine for me. no issues what so ever.

I am also using the 5 original cd's for this. However my problem seems more irritating. I am running Win XP Pro 2002 edition. I try to install BG1, then it acts like it is installing then the install screen disappears, no error messeges or anything of the like. What do I do to actually get the disc to install?

it still not working.... i don't know how to translate the problem, my windows is in portuguese.....

but it's something like "the system is not able to run MS-DOS files"

something to do with autoexec.nt?
I know this works on xp since i have it somewhere in my collection and have played it on this computer with windows xp installed.

It can happen that your autoexec.nt is corrupt or deleted (MS update?).
Try this to repair your autoexec.nt:
Put your XP install cd in the drive and use the 'run' command, input:

expand X:\i386\autoexec.nt_ c:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

There are only 2 spaces:
expandspaceX:\i386\autoexec.nt_spacec:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt

The X is your CDDrive letter.
This will repair autoexec.nt.

If for some reason you don't have your cd, use notepad to create it.
That must be in it:


@echo off
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 P330 T3


Save it in c:\windows\system32\

That's enough to get basic dos support in XP so that you can use dosbased installers.
