Baldurs Gate The Original Saga Doesnt Install

[A Needy Peasent]

My problem here is that no matter what I try, Baldurs Gate wont install on my computer.

I currently use an XP computer, and its more than good enough for it to run. I have it set to the correct settings in properties, in Windows 95, yet it still wont work.

Now, the problem itself is that when I insert disk 1 the installation screen comes up without a problem. But when I click install, it disappears and nothing at all happens. The only notable thing is a loading hourglass symbol that appears by my mouse cursor, but it eventually disappears.

So, does anyone have any advice on this?

I run BG in WindowsXP (SP2), without the Windows95 settings in Properties.

Did you try running it without the Windows95 settings, Peasent?

Nope, it didnt work for Windows XP, neither any of the other modes. But maybe I did it worng, as I set the auto install and setup to XP only. Is there some better way to do it?

Or do I need to try to run the game through the admin password?

I suggest you either post a request for help in the Tech Forum, or ask a mod to move this thread there.

The only thing that occurs to me is there could be a compatibility issue with some of your drivers, either graphics or sound.

I don't know if this is the way you tried to install, but add/remove programs under control panel seems to work better than the standard way.

Interesting... I tried your idea with adding the game guy above me, but when I clicked run, it instantly froze and wouldnt respond so I had to close it.

I have also found that the CD works fine on another computer, so its something with my computer thats the problem.
