    Sometimes I have heard of people who still get a message after reinstalling a 'full' over a 'recommended'. if you have the full install then you should not have to use any CD (other than CD2 I think is used to make sure you do actually own the game).

    If you do get messages asking for other disks then you can probably correct it by changing the lines in the BALDUR.INI file which is in your BG directory. You will need to change the first few lines of this, using note pad, to tell it where to look for the CD - i.e. on your hard drive not in the CD ROM drive. Details of how to do this can be found in the Planescape area (because Planescape needs a full install to be done manually):
    http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/Torment/planescape_probsolve.php

    Point 4) of the second hint in that link shows you want you need to do to change your INI file.
