During the sale I´ve purchased both BG1 and BG2 and installe the BGT Mod along with the widescreen Mod. Game runs fine and looks fine but I experience some slowdowns here and there. I tried turning on hardware acceleration and the game seems to run better. However using Hardware mode results in a flickering image.

Is there a way to use Hardware mode without this flickering?
My specs are:

Intel 8200 Quadcore
Nvidia 460 GTX
4GB Ram

Win XP SP3
1280x1024 resolution

I also have the game installed on my older PC using a P4 2,3Ghz and Nvidia 5900XT and the game runs without any problems.

Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

Have you tried using 3D-Analyze? An incredibly handy graphics emulator/tweaker.

I'm not familiar with your particular graphics card, and 3D-Analyzer is very much trial and error, best settings depend on your particular chipset; but I'd suggest trying "emulate Hardware T&L" and "emulate bump-mapping cap".

This little jewel has made a difference in a number of older games for me.

ps...Vista sp2, Athlon 64 mobile, Radeon X1200 integrated graphics, 2 G DDR2 ram (in other words, an old, sub-standard notebook)

Thanks for your replies. I found the solution. Simply turning off VSync did all the magic. Now it runs as smoothly as ever :)
