Okay, I first tried the quick fix and patched the BGmain.exe with the setup-BGTmusic.exe and I actually was able to get the game to start okay. Unfortunately, at the same time, it uninstalls my widescreen mod and everything looks all squashed on the screen - not optimal.
Then I sucked it up and did yet another brand new install and followed all your advice: installed in a non "program files" folder, installed ToBExtender and cut back on the NPCs.
I had no installation issues at all but when I tried to start the game with both ToBloader and BGmain I still got no result.
As before, the err file is empty but I've attached my
weidu file and here is my ini file: Hopefully you can figure it out. :-)
Thanks again.
