Any ideas? Like I said it's a fresh install of Original Saga Version 1.3.5521 (3-CD version). I looked about the forum and couldn't find anything that explained why a fresh installed failed.

Nice to see you left the Mac limbo in favor of Windows hell.

 

Install the non-DX8 patch from the bioware site (5512) on top of your BG1 installation. There are already about 80 different pinned topics that tell you the same exact thing.

[Isaya]

Installing the 5512 patch is usually discouraged, also by Bioware, if you have a 3 CD edition of BG and TotSC. I can't be more specific though.

I assume the problem would be that the 3 CD edition uses compressed bif files (cbf, as in Icewind Dale) that the older 5512 version cannot read.
