    The reason why it isn't running is because your computer does not meet the minimum requirements of the game. See below...
    ----------
    System Requirements

    REQUIRED SPECS
    Intel Pentium II 350MHz or AMD K6-III/400MHz
    64MB RAM
    DirectX compliant video card
    DirectX compliant sound card
    4x CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
    Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP
    DirectX 8.0 or higher

    RECOMMENDED SPECS
    Intel Pentium III 500 or AMD Duron or Athlon processor
    128MB RAM
    DirectX compliant video card
    DirectX compliant sound card
    16x CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
    Broadband (Cable/DSL) Connection for multiplayer
    Windows XP
    DirectX 8.0 or higher


    NOTE: For multiplayer gameplay, it is highly recommended that you install Icewind Dale II using the “Full” installation option. (1.5GB)
    ----------

    This was taken from the IWD2 Readme file.

    Are you sure, Cryohydropyro, that the problem is the system requirements? Because, I've been playing IWD2 in computer with 300 MHz, 128 RAM and Windows 98 and the game works fine. Although, I'm not sure what video card the comp has... :rolleyes:

    Maybe you should try to adjust the game graphics, sounds and other things from the configuration program, BondariReloads. It can be found from the IWD2 main folder.

    @Tanthie

    Quite... but not entirely. However, you maybe right that it might be because Bondari is playing it at settings greater than the power his PC can produce.

    Off the record, your video card seems to be a bit powerful... I 've read somewhere that video cards can add to the processing power of the CPU... something about an "over-clocking" thingy... Would you mind checking your card's brand for me? Thanks.

    EDIT: @ BondariReloads - Try checking the version of your DirectX. I don't know if it means anything, though.
