Doing a "Search" of this forum for "Windows XP" led me here:

Good luck.
Why is it that whenever I finally get around to playing a new game for the first time,
I feel like playing Baldur's Gate for the second time...

I have been running BG1 on my XP box since XP first came out and haven't encountered any issues.
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds. The latter cannot understand it when a person does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses their intelligence.

I reinstalled the original, unpatched BG1 (5-CD) and ToSC a couple of weeks ago onto an XP Pro machine, no issues other then the BG install doesn't 'see' all the space available on an HD using NTFS. If you want to install all the CDs, just choose 'continue anyway' when install says you don't have enough room (assuming of course you actually do have room :) )

Last week I installed the 3-CD package that includes all of BG1 AND ToSC as well as the official Bioware patches. Once again, no issues with XP AND this version 'sees' the actual space available.
