I think I have diagnosed the problem as a wireless mouse/keyboard

Which is a simple fix, but a PITA at the same time. It may be that my cordless receiver is tool close to the keyboard/mouse/monitor, but I have very little space. I'll just have to get a hardwired mouse for gameplay.

Problems with BGII on new machine

I was playing on AMD 1.3MHZ, Shuttle AK31 MOBO with GeForce2 video card and 2x128 266MHz DDR RAM, and it was quirky, but I was able to play.

Now, I am trying to play on new ABIT NF7-s v2.0 with Athlon 2600+ at 200x10.5=2100MHz (barely OC to use the 400MHz memory synchronously) and GeForce4 MX440 ...

I just finished my first time through.

I could not touch Kangaxx the first time I tried (chapter two), nor Firkraag, but coming back after the Underdark I was almost disappointed in how easy they were. I probably reloaded for Kangaxx once or twice. Now Irenicus was impossible. Even with all my ...

This isn't even fun (spoiler)

There is nothing I can do to kill Irenicus in hell! He simply regenerates to fast to do any permanent damage. I have read here about how his protections wear off, but I have yet to see that happen. I summon five decoys and then some more to fight the demons and hide in the back of the room. By the ...

When I thought the drow had stolen my stuff, I was looking for codes to certain items, Equalizer hilt, Wave blade, Silver Hilt. Are there codes for weapon parts, or only the complete weapon? Also, a long time ago, I set down the human flesh for a minute, and forgot to pick it up. I can no longer ...

I was not aware that anything got stolen in Ust'Natha, but by the time I got to the Elven Camp, I had lost at least the Equalizer Hilt, Silver Sword Hilt and I think the Wave Blade. I had them just before the fake egg caper. I have gone back to Ust'Natha, and killed all, and did not find these items ...

Consider if the sword is magic though...incising metal plate like butter. Perhaps the magic sword does fire or acid damage. Fire damage could evaporate an air elemental. Acid could change the chemical properties of water elemental. A cold damage weapon would also be interesting against a water ...

Thank you, but now I have another question.

Is there a reason I should have thought to cast this spell on my own? I can not think of any reason I ever woule have done so.

Where is Vithal? (spoiler?)

I have been all over the underdark, cleared the mind flayer and beholder dungeons and have been to Silver Dragon, and I have yet to encounter Vithal. Is something amiss, or is there something yet I must do to find Vithal? I have approached three portals, so some elementals got loose, but I never saw ...

Magneticus is right.

As a recently admonished new poster, I find the policy is unclear. The title "Human Flesh Armor" which has occurred in the past two weeks has the potential to spoil at least as much as any information in this thread.

JMHO.

Party Management with respect to Asylum (SPOILER)

If I had known this would happen all along, I would have planned in advance, but here I am. I have PC-fighter, Minsc, Yoshimo, Nalia, Aerie, Jaheira. I use Yoshi for locks/traps. Nalia is primary offensive spell-caster. Jaheira summons insects often and can fight. Aerie generally used for heal ...

Spell Books?

Is there a way to erase spells I never use from the spellbooks to make room for others once the limit is reached?

I began the game writing every spell I picked up, because I didn't know if I needed them. Now my intelligence based limits are reached, and I can write no more.

If I can't erase spells ...

Help with crashes

I've been playing a couple of weeks, and I am experiencing frequent crashes. The game simply locks up, and neither the mouse or keyboard responds. No error messages, and CTRL-ALT-DEL will not restart. Sound occurring at the time of crash enters a loop and repeats until I restart using reset. I've ...
