What system are you using? I played it last September on Windows XP, service pack 2, and had no problems.

I had this problem when I first bought the game a few years back, and can't remember exactly what I did to fix it. It was something stupid, and almost by chance, I think, to get it to work. I suggest trying to install it from a fresh boot of your system, and possibly don't use the autoplay, but run it directly. Sorry I can't help you more, but it's been over four years since I had this problem, and my memory of the solution is hazy. Hopefully it works, IWD is a great game, and in my opinion, better than the sequel.

Got it installed, just as BGRocks told, after fresh reboot straight from the stepu file, not through autoplay...

Super! :) Enjoy the game!

Don't forget to download the second expansion, Trials of the Luremaster, you can still get it free at some places.

I downloaded TotL from fileplanet about a month ago so you can still get it from there :)
