I'm having problems with my BG1 game
To cut a long story short, it will only install to about 85% and when I try to leave the Friendly Arm Inn it crashes. So I need to clean up the registry of any BG1 files, so it will hopefully install properly. I'm not an expert on computers unfortunatly so could someone please give me a step by step guide on how to do it, starting at the beginning. It will be very appreciated, thank you!

About modifying registry - If you're not an expert, don't do it.It's that simple. Too much stuff can go wrong otherwise.

Otherwise it's
Start --> Run --> regedit Then Edit --> search. Enter Baldur and search for that. No other software then Baldur's gate should have that information in the registry (I did a search and didn't find anything). When a match is found it will be selected. Now, before deleting it, I would recommend you back it up. Do so by exporting the value and saving it somewhere on your drive. After you've removed the values containing "Baldur" (nothing else!) restart the computer. Hopefully it will boot normally. Otherwise import the values you exported earlier.

Also scan for interplay, but be careful with those and leave them if unsure. Theres a list of the keys you need to hit somewhere on the BG1 support site if you have trouble.

Thankyou, everyone!
Slicer15, thankyou for that link I tried using the program and installing the game again but unfortunatly it didn't work Seems like a good program though so I'll be keeping it! [img]smile.gif[/img] Bozos of bones you may be right... I'm not sure if I should attempt it or not. I'll maybe wait a few days and see how disperate to play Bg1 I get. If it was BG2 I couldn't live without it, but Bg1 maybe... And, thankyou WillowIX and Andrewas I now know how to attempt it! Your help is appreciated! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I have a program called Reg Cleaner, think that slicer gave you the link. Its great, fixed the same problem for me when I had some problems with Civ III. Its a good program.
