In Topic: Windows 7 Installation Error (BG2 Shadows of Amn)

sadly my laptop broke because of a spilled glass of wine, and it has now been incinerated by the insurance company! I'll try doing it on my desktop, this may sound stupid but how do I transfer from pc to laptop? Is the most effective way to do it through wifi connection?

Hey Miloch, yes I have on my old laptop. I'm starting to think I might just have to buy a new one; the game was in a box in the attic all summer while I was travelling state-side so I maybe something happened then. Thanks for everyone's help I'll try another time and if not by a copy off of amazon, I'm desperate to start playing through again. I had hoped to try playing through as a chaotic evil half-orc, or a human bard - a race/classes I'd never given thought to. I guess it will have to wait a little bit.

Regards

Okay so I tried disabling the UAC, I disabled my wireless and AVG (by disabling the resident shield), and also installed it into a folder in my documents (instead of programme files) and it still timed out at 46% on that file. I couldn't however seem to disable the programme compatibility feature, I typed "gpedit.msc" into the console but nothing came up? Do you have any suggestions,I don't want to lose hope! Again, the disks do not have a scratch on them, and the laptop is new and running other games fine.

Regards

James

Hey thanks for the responses, my disks are in perfect condition. I tried copying the individuals files over but that didn't work. I'll try as suggested (d/c from the internet and cancel AVG). *EDIT as well as disable UAC

I'll let you know if that doesn't resolve the problem

Thanks~

James
