I had BG working fine for me on win98; on win2k, though, a bizarre thing happens: i create my character and go to the opening landscape (the tutorial), and my guy just stands there twitching, literally. the other npc characters move around just fine on the screen, but not mine: if i click the mouse enough times, maybe he'll move forward, maybe not. mostly he just stands there making repetitive arm motions -- and that's pretty much the end of the game. i've tried adjusting the graphics options, adding the patch, etc, but no luck. as i say, it worked fine under win98. any insights?
