    Save it to your BG root directory. You will get a question about whether you want to overwrite another file or not. Overwrite it.

    But you should not or could not use it without the regular patch. So get that first...

    In this case it's the one you've installed BG into.
    Right-click on BG shortcut icon, choose properties and then click on find target button. That will open your BG root directory. Or folder as Microsoft likes to call it.

    You've gotta excuse the terminology. Studying for MCSE and MCDBA these days, and all these crazy terms just won't let go...

    Will I ever be able to talk like a sane person again??? My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy when she hears me talk to my friends

    (Now I can too... ;) )

    LOL! Right i think i've done it now. Basically, what i've done is installed it into the Black Isle file next to the Bladurs Gate icon thing. I then unzipped the download. Am I doing this right? The zip file said that it was going into the file using the directory of: C:/BlackIsle/Baldur's Gate ... well it was something like that. Am I doing this right?
