    I am playing Icewind Dale I and none of my characters are able to use an item. The icon is dark. I am unable to use keys or other objects. I can pick them up and put them in my pack but when I click on the key for example the only place I can put it is on the ground. Has anybody else had this problem or does anybody know how to fix it?

    You can't "use" the key per se. It's used automatically when you attempt to open the corresponding locked door, chest, etc. It just needs to be in your inventory to unlock. After you've unlocked the door, chest, etc. you can just drop the key.

    I do have the key and item to open the gates but when the character who has the key or symbol try to open it, it just says ""locked"

    Are you sure you have the right key?

    Yes. I have the mausoleum key to open a gate in lower dungeon of Vale of Shadows and also the symbol of myrukal (sorry about the spelling) to pull the latch to open the gate to next area. All together I have 3 keys in possession.Sanctum key, Priests key and mausoleum key. There is a possiblility that I don't have the right items. I am playing it again with new characters andam looking at a walkthrough. I'll know when I get back to The Vale of Shadows if I have the right items and if they work.

    Enter Kresselack's tomb in the northeast corner of the Vale and use the Gate Key to open the first door (just have it in your inventory). Enter the central chamber and open the door in the left wall with the Sanctum Key. Take the Priest's Key from the coffin and open the right door. Take the Holy Symbol of Myrkul from to coffin and break the seal on the north door. Defeat Mytos and find the Mausoleum Key. It is either on his body or in a coffin in a hidden room guarded by a mummy.
    Take the right hallway and enter the door at the end to go to the second level. Enter the center chamber and defeat all the enemies there. Use the Mausoleum Key to open the door to the northeast. Open the next door in the hallway and take the plain key from the room at the end.
    Now return to the main chamber and open the door to the southeast. Use the plain key to open the next door and take the Black Wolf Talisman from the body at the end. Return to the main chamber again and flip the switch on the pillar in the east end of the room to open the doors to the west that lead to the lowest level. Then you can toss the keys because you no longer need them.
