But I wait about 30min and it wont start. Then I restart my comp and as the comp is shutting down the install starts. Anyone expiriencin this problem? Anyway to fix this problem?

What system are you using? I played it last September on Windows XP, service pack 2, and had no problems.

I had this problem when I first bought the game a few years back, and can't remember exactly what I did to fix it. It was something stupid, and almost by chance, I think, to get it to work. I suggest trying to install it from a fresh boot of your system, and possibly don't use the autoplay, but run it directly. Sorry I can't help you more, but it's been over four years since I had this problem, and my memory of the solution is hazy. Hopefully it works, IWD is a great game, and in my opinion, better than the sequel.

Got it installed, just as BGRocks told, after fresh reboot straight from the stepu file, not through autoplay...

Super!
Enjoy the game!
Don't forget to download the second expansion,
Trials of the Luremaster, you can still get it free at some places.

I downloaded TotL from fileplanet about a month ago so you can still get it from there
