First of all! hello!i'm totally new to BGT, I played BG1 and 2 some years ago, and recently I acquired this(but in my spanish language and found out that i can play BG1 with the graphics and engine of BG2 and tried to install it, i followed the step by step guide in a spanish web page (here) and everything was running fine, but lately my game has started to crash, it freezes my copmputer entirely, there is no other option that to do a hard-reset (it's painful!), it happens for no reason, i'm in the middle of a map just walking and crashs, or im in the middle of a dialogue and crashes, it loads well, no errors so I dont know if there's a file corrupt or something, I have been checking if there was some kind of log and found none (my baldur.log is empty) and my weidu.log shows only the mods installed. At first i was playing in 1024x768 res but when the game start crashing i changed it to 800x600 and still crash too, i tried to play in a windows but it's no use, crash, so i want to know if there is some way to fix it without reinstalling everithing or at least if my save will be compatible with the new version (i have installed BGT-08).
Any ideas? :S

Sorry for my crappy english.

It might be a creatures animation that crashes the game. Is there a particular area it happens?
To get more info out of the game, open the baldur.ini with Notepad and add in "Logging On=1" (without the quotes, unless it's already there) under the [Program Options] section in the file, then save the file and exit. It will produce Baldur.err when you reproduce the error, and it can be opened with the Notepad, post it here.

Sorry for my crappy English.

Good enough.

It is almost certainly not animation-related because such issues cause crashes almost immediately on area load. So being in the middle of the map just walking rules that out, unless you or someone else has suddenly cast a spell with a bad animation or something like that. This sort of thing is tedious to troubleshoot if you're not getting anything back in baldur.err. Might as well post your WeiDU.log (put it in SPOILER tags or attach it because it's probably huge) and post your video card specs as well.

It does sound like a general system issue or a configuration problem.
Things to investigate include audio drivers, audio settings, video card drivers, video settings, DirectX version, and background running programs.

Also i'm running on the background AVG antivirus, virtual clonedrive and ATI control manager only so i dont think it is causing any problems.

Might want to disable those memory-resident things while you're playing the game - no doubt they could cause freezes. Also while you're installing any future mods. Just don't be connected to the internet, don't open Word documents, and you won't get viruses (re-enable them when you're done playing if you want).
