Hey, I've been noticing some really bothersome issues with BG, BG2, IWD, etc., where there will be cursor flickering, along with random graphical artifacts here and there. I've tried reinstalling, compatibility mode to XP SP3, and rebooting. Are there any fixes, as I thought the purpose of GOG was to fix things like this on newer systems. if it matters, I'm running Vista.

I had a similar problem and I was able to fix it by turning on 3D Animations and 3D acceleration on in the config. Maybe try that and see if that fixes it.

From memory, disabling Triple Buffering in your graphics card software can get rid of the flickering and so forth.

Turn on 3D animations, 3D acceleration, 32-bit, turn off triple buffering in your software (and if it doesn't help, use D3DOverrider tool from RivaTuner download from Guru3D) and avoid using a Realtek sound card.

I think the triple buffering thing only helps slightly if you have a non-supported Realtek sound card.

try IE DDrawFix

Or use the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit to apply the DirectDrawEmulation directly to the games in windows.
