    [​IMG] I'm currently on vacation (kinda far from home) and I thought it would be great to go through the whole BG saga again.

    However, I changed my computer since then, and I'm now running on XP home edition.

    So... will it work on XP?
    or on my laptop (win 2000 pro)?

    It should work on either.

    I've got XP and even when my Graphics Card didn't work with it preventing half my games working, BG didn't let me down and worked like a charm! :)

    I run BG on XP just fine. Just make sure you have the latest patch; I've seen many folks who have problems with unpatched BG on XP. The problems all go away once patched. :)

    Mine's not been patched, the only update really was installing TotSC.

    D'oh, I was assuming vanilla BG1. TotSC already includes all of the patches.
