Make sure your video/sound card drivers are up-to-date. What type of error are you getting?

when installing disc one, after about 25% complete, "Abort, Retry, or Ignore" windos box appears for 'bif'(?) files, u can retry and it sometimes contiues. at 99% complete after having to ignore some files another box appeared, this time terminal error and it shut install down.
Should BGII run on windows XP? it does on Win2000. Should I email the manufactures? Maybe its my XP faulting. Any advice would be appreciated.

Not sure what your problem is, but SoA/ToB works fine with XP for me. Pretty sure it's a problem with your installation cd's though. Had a prob the other day reinstalling D2 where it would freeze and crash during play disc installation. Borrowed friends play disc and installation completed fine.

Clean your CD's with a soft cloth. Also, check the section on Installation problems
here.
