The File CD5\Movies\25Movies.bif is missing... cant use The Big World megamod because of this.. anyone have a copy or know if GoG plans on fixing this?

You can find this file in the folder \data\Movies. Create the directory CD5\Movies\ and copy it to there.

Wait, "glitchy mouse trail effects"?

You have an ATI card?

If you do, turn off Cataylst AI, not low, OFF. (This option can be found in CCC or ATT, whatever GPU controlling software you are using)

This is a common glitch with the Infinity Engine and newer ATI tech, I just have a game profile set up for IE based games with AI off. (Also, if you have a dual GPU setup running, disable Crossfire)

For some reason my version of tales of the sword coast wont work when i load the mission pack save (using 5 cd version) can you help me fix this cause i dont know if this will majorly impact me playing the mission pack itself.

I remember that glitchy mouse trail: you have to turn of animated cursors and mouse trail in windows mouse settings

The first URL you provided, http://www.gog.com/forum/baldur_s_gate/nvidia_drivers_and_baldurs_gate leads to a 404 Page not found error

It's because the thread was necroed and the subforum was renamed since then. Here is a working version of the link.

Just to be sure that further URL-changings will not swallow this precious information, here's the solution posted by -dazzle- on the shsforums:

"Hi all,

I managed to fix this problem for baldur's gate in vista by enabling software directdraw.
Maybe it also works in XP and for other infinity engine games, I haven't tried.
It'll only work for the 2d rendering engine (OpenGL mode won't work).
After you've applied the fix, the game is very fast and without any artifacts.
The fix is permanent. You don't need loader scripts or stuff like that.

Here's how to:
1. Download and install the microsoft application compatiblity toolkit:

2. Start the 'Compatibility Administrator' with administrator rights.
3. Click the 'New' Button
4. Right click the new database. Select 'Create new application fix...'
5. Name your program and vendor however you like. Browse to your bgmain2.exe file. Click next
6. Select 'None' for operating system modes. Don't select additional compatibility modes. Click next
7. Tick the 'ForceDirectDrawEmulation' compatibility fix.
8. Click next and finish.
9. Save your database.
10. Right click the database and select install. This will install the database.
11. Close the compatibility administrator and start baldur's gate.
It should work correctly in 32bit mode without any ingame rendering fixes.
You don't need to run the compatibility administrator again."

I cannot find anywhere on my computer baldur.ini file which I need to alter. In fact I cannot find any *.ini file other than witcher 2. Has the baldur.ini been changed by gog?
