I'm having a problem in BG2 with the priest scrolls and spell book moving back to and getting stuck on the first page (level one spells). When I switch party members I have a short time, ~10 seconds maybe, that I can change pages but then it scrolls back to the first page.

I'm on Windows 8 x64. I'm currently using bg2fixpack_v10 and the widescreen mod. I have tried v9 of the fixpack and had the problem as well.

If I'm quick I can change higher level spells, but it is fairly annoying.

Reboot your computer.

It was worth a try, but it did not fix the problem. I have found I don't actually have to switch party members, switching to the other book (priest/mage) from where I was does the trick. It is definitely an annoying problem.

The game is not in the program files directory. I'll give running with admin rights or compatibility mode a try next time I get a chance to play.

Edit: Admin rights was already enabled. I tried compatibility mode with no luck. I did find a four year old post elsewhere describing the same problem, but no solutions for it. This makes me think it is not something specific to Windows 8.

After trying everything I could think of (along with the above recommendations) I decided to swap the batteries in my keyboard (which was not having any problems) and that cleared the problem up. Thanks for the help.
