Hi all!

I've got a real dilemma here. I've been attempting to re-play the BGSaga on my new Windows 7 Ultimate - 64bit OS to no avail. Essentially my problem is this: When I get to Char Creation, and I type in the name, the computer stops detecting the mouse or keyboard buttons. I can still move the cursor around, but that's it.

Now, I've tested this every step of the way, after installing every game and expansion, and it's always the same problem. I've changed to different mouse and keyboard setups as well. Some wired, some wireless, no success.

Here's what I've done for troubleshooting so far:

-Attempted to use a pre-generated char. that already has a name, and I click accept and start the game. Everything in game looks fine. I can send my character wherever I want. But as soon as I use the keyboard, it does the half-freeze again. I continue to be able to move my mouse, and it even highlights different NPCs or chests that are in the area, but I can no longer successfully click on them.

-Downloaded Windows Virtual PC and ran XP on it. (XP is what I previously played BG on with success.) When I did this, I of course re-installed, and a new problem arose. Ultimate lag. The keyboard works fine, but the whole game is super laggy. I've tried widescreen mods. Different resolutions. Different performance settings. Updated patches. Tried Tutu. etc...

-Installed my discs on another system with XP. That worked, but it isn't my system.


I'd really rather have it working on Windows 7, but I'd just as easily welcome tips on getting it to work in Windows Virtual PC - XP Mode.

System Specs:

-AMD ATHLON 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.70 GHz
-3GB Ram
-Asus M3N78-VM Motherboard with NVIDIA GeForce 8200 graphics card.
-Seagate 1TB HDD @ 7200Rpm


As to why it doesn't work in Windows 7, I'm at a loss.
For XP though I figure it's got something to do with the Video card, although it's the same card I had before and it worked. Only difference is I used to have XP-64 and the Windows Virtual PC provides 32-bit.

Anyway hit me back if ya got anything. Truly appreciate it.

Update: Same goes for Icewind Dale and Heart of Winter
