Can not install game

Post by Heath P »

Ihave the five disc B.G. that I had played on my older P.C.
I recently tried to install it on my new P.C. but it would not
fully install. Instead I get a code 581. I tried to uninstall
and I can not do that either. My new P.C. is an hp pavillion 510n
with Windows XP, 1.2GHz,40GB. Please help me find what I am doing wrong. Thank You.

There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Try removing it this way:
  • Click on the Start button of your task bar
  • Select Settings, then click on Control Panel
  • Open Add/Remove Programs
  • Scroll down the Install/Uninstall list and select Baldur's Gate
  • Click on the Add/Remove button
If you can't do it this way, then you'll need to use Regedit (with CAUTION!!).
