You can try changing your computer settings so that it thinks you are in Canada or the United States.

Try Bioware's website, since they're the developer.

Just to info everyone who has this problem (I had), in some cases that's not enough. For me, it gave error about correct English version. I had to change everything to relate US, even the thing about Unicode... After that, and rebooting, BG and TotSC worked perfectly.

TotSC Patches

Just install the correct patch for your region (I believe that there's a European version, but if not, get the 'International' version).

Since the original problem has been solved and this thread is not for problems with the patches or their installations, I'm closing this thread. If you have a problem with the installation of the patches, please start a new thread detailing the error messages so that people may be able to work out a solution.

Thanks
