Problems with IWD

    Just got the game, just got the patch and still having a problem with it. Had the same with Baldur's Gate too and never got that solved. But Torment was fine.

    Anyway here it is: The bottom line of buttons on the interface keep flashing for certain characters, such as the mages and thieves. Both of these are quite handy, but the only way I can use them is to selext a screen other than the main game view and then back again and have a short period when I can actually use them properly. This is needless to say very irritating. It also affects the choice of formations, basically always defaults straight back to the highly irritating T formation which I don't want. Now a couple of nights ago it managed to work normally for a few hours, but since then I've been unable to. My thief is practically uncontrollable on her own and therefore I can't search for traps properly. Has anyone come across this before? And can anyone suggest some sort of solution before tech support reply to my e-mail?

    A second problem is that the game doesn't seem to work when I install it in a directory other than the default. Crashing upon loading. Which as my windows hard drive is only 3.2Gb and my other one is 17Gb is awkwark, but that seems to affect virtually every game.

    No problems with speed or so, slight slowdown occasionally, but nothing to get worked up over.

    Had installed BG a few times and it still happened. Actually haven't heard of anyone else before that had the same problem. For a second day (out of about 10) IWD worked perfectly, actually in a way that was a problem as a couple of the ways round the problem caused it not to work as intened (particularly my mage wouldn't cast fireball as easily as usual :D).
