There is a known problem with IWD 2 running with the current Catalyst drivers, resulting in the graphics flashing and then locking or crashing to desktop. BI has stated they're currently working with ATI to fix the problem. In the meantime, here are some work-arounds:
  1. Downgrade to a pre-catalyst driver (April or May depending on your system).
  2. Play in Windowed mode
  3. Every time the flashing starts, pause the game, go into options - graphics and switch on Software Standard BLT if it's off, or switch it off if it's on. This will allow you to continue playing another 20-30 minutes before the graphics start flashing again.
See here for further details.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.
