    What graphics card do you use?

    try running the game in 16 bit colour depth. Basically, just fiddle with the graphics configuration options.

    I have this same issue. I disable DirectDraw in the DirectX menu to solve the issue. To accomplish this, click the START button in the bottom left corner, click "Run...", type "dxdiag" in the box that appears and push Enter. Click the Display tab at the top and then click to disable DirectDraw Acceleration.

    You guys...seriously, scroll up in the IWD2 forum to the top three 'stickied' threads. Specifically I think the third one titled "Annoying graphical bug" or some such.

    Read that.
