Vista & Baldur 2/ mods - no text, sound no nothing...

[Neermaluin]

 ::)hah i wonder if someone will help
ok,
i noticed already that vista disables MANY things on PC, i dealt with some
already but now im stuck...

thing is, BG II works fine - when its 'clean'. also with the mods, BUT
all NPC's i get ( Xan, Kelsey, and so on ) have no text, no sound.
If they 'talk' there's only NPC's portrait in dialog bar, but nothing else.

Those NPC's walk, fight and all but when they talk i see nothing, nor hear.
I checked the dialog.tlk file and all text is there, all banters.
the mods audio files seem to work fine too (if i listen to them on windows media player)

I also unchecked the 'read only' but it doesnt give any result.
Its not the first time I installed the mods, so I know in what order they
have to be installed, so its not the case.

I also reinstalled the game and mods many times.. but it gives no result either.

 ???but i got no freaking idea what to make them work properly now.

seriously.. im considering installing XP

It might be that Vista is denying us permission to modify your game files/directories, although what you describe could also happen if you are installing the mods while the game is running or another editing tool is open (or you are trying to install more than one mod simultaneously.)

Some people have reported that an easy potential fix is to install BG2 so that it is *not* in the Program Files tree. (like, install it to "C:\games\bg2" or something like that instead.)

Do you have User Account Control enabled?

If not, try turning it off-

nah, it works because i installed the game in different folder (not on ProgramFiles/bla bla)
and for vista  i got a Sunrise Configurator, so it works fine
but thank you very much
