i recently rediscovered baldur's gate II after a long hiatus
i've installed it on my new computer
unfortunately, something doesn't work right. there is a problem with the quickbar buttons at the bottom of the screen. they only work for about ten seconds or so.
i know this sounds confusing, bear with me.
example: when i try to cast a spell by clicking on the cast spell button, it works perfectly by bringing up the list of spells to choose from. within 10 seconds however, the list disappears. any further clicking of the cast spell button has no effect.
this applies to other buttons like special abilities, detect traps, etc.
the strange thing is that when i switch to another screen eg. character, map, journal and then switch back, it works perfectly for another 10 seconds.
i've installed baldur's gate II before on my old computer and it worked perfectly. i've tried reinstalling, downloading the patch. nothing works. please help!!!
the computer is capable of handling bgII in terms of performance. it runs on windows XP.
