<font color="lightblue">After SIX MONTHS of my install asking for Disk 5, I have *finally* got BG2 working again [img]smile.gif[/img]

For the record, what finally worked was a small variation on copying all the files to hard disk and running setup. I had to copy all of them to the other computer (which is networked to this one), share the folder, and run setup on this computer. I did a full install, and sofar it is working perfectly [img]smile.gif[/img] .

But now, I need advice- I am playing a Neutral Good Elven Jester (had to do a small bit of tinkering in SK... ), and can`t decide on my party. I usually use atleast 2 mages, a Paladin, a thief, and a druid. If I use the baldurdash patch to stop chracters leaving due to reputation, is Keldorn-Yoshimo-Edwin-Jaheira and a space for NPCs I pick up for their quests a good setup ?? </font>

I think that your an idiot, but thats just a personal opinion. Yes i think thats a very good setup, you must allways have yoshimo and edwin! What kind of a party would it be without those two? Jan is a good choice for after, spoiler........................................... ......... Yoshimo betrays you.

<font color="lightblue">After the betrayal, i`ll probably use Imoen... out of the many many Mage/Thiefs in the game, she should at that stage be the closest in level to the rest of my party [img]smile.gif[/img] (I`ll probably do all the stronghold quests before going to Spellhold [img]smile.gif[/img] ) </font>

My dad did some weird thing so now we just need one disc for the whole game. He did that with IWD too.

Maybe your dad did a full instal?

That would be my guess as well... Unless his dad did some really weird things with those disks. ;)
