    :confused: I recently bought a new laptop and have installed BG TOTSC and BGII,
    which
    both worked just fine on my old PC. Although my laptop has much more
    muscle
    and graphics power than my old PC did, something is going on when i try
    to
    play both games. Every item slot and item in my inventory has a black
    background and in BG TOTSC when i equip my character with weapons or
    armor
    he is completley blacked out by a big square and spells are also
    trailed
    with a series of black squares. Instead of seeing a swarm of
    butterflies
    around a bush, i see a big black square, and so on. I have tried
    everything
    i can think of and nothing at all has helped. If someone knows what
    is
    going on or what i can do to fix it please let me know i am very
    thankful.

    I don't know for sure, but you might have to download the latest patches for TotSC. Also, try messing around under with the graphics tab- there should be some toggles for "Software Transparent BLT" and so on that deal with the problems of transparency. It sounds like your computer isn't drawing the animations or images with transparent backgrounds.
