Allright I fixed my problem!

(Correction)
This is (apparently) what caused the black boxes for me while having 3d-acceleration deactivated:
SCSII (Sword Coast Stratagems II)

So if anyone encounters the same problem the solution to NOT install the Sword Coast Stratagems II!

Now I can play the game perfectly with 3d-acceleration deactivated.
Unfortunately without this mod which seemed kind of fun.
Let the adventure begin! \o/

Since you mention the black box issue as famous I'm not sure if you've already tried this:

BG2 and HoW (TotLM) are fixable directly from their config program:
BG2(SoA+ToB, including Tutu, Classic Adventures, and Big Mods): there are various graphical issues (black boxes and/or randomly-colored lines across the screen), which are solved with the following tweaks in BGConfig: Hardware -> Enable 3D Acceleration. Display -> 32 bit. 2d & 3d options: enable 3D Animations, 3D Acceleration and 32 bit textures, disable the Disable Vertex Padding option.

The problem is that if I run Baldurs Gate 2 with 3d acceleration activated the game won't even start before it crashes.
If I run Baldurs Gate 2 with 3d acceleration deactivated it won't crash but that is when the black box issue appears.

Simply put:
3d acceleration activated = game crash/won't start
3d acceleration deactivated = black boxes/heavy graphic glitches

Hi,

I apologize in advance if this is something you have already thought of and tried, but I have found triple buffering to be a deal breaker for the BG2 engine. You may want to check whether it is on in your graphic card's options, and turn it off.

If triple buffering is not the probelm, you may want to set most options in your graphic card's software to either "off" or "application control". This way, you'll rule your graphic card's features out and see whether it was any of them to cause your issues.

I honestly doubt this could have anything to do with your problem, but on these newer versions of Windows it is generally a good idea to NOT install any IE game in the "Program Files" directory.

Thank you for your reply!

No appologies needed. =)
Triple buffering seems to be off. I haven't tried to "tone down" my graphics card total setting though since im a bit unsure about how it works. But now when you mention it this is obviously something I should try. There's probably some tutorial I can snatch from google somewhere!
I just hope I don't wreck anything haha.

It's installed directly onto C: as well. =/'

I have a program called "Catalyst Control Center" which apparently is some kind of control programt for "every aspect of my GPU quickly and easily!".
Anyway... Most of the options in this program are either set to off or on "application settings". And mixturing with these options doesn't seem to solve the problem either. *sob*
