bought baldurs gate 1, downloaded it via gog downloader, went to directory, double clicked and nothing. hard drive light is always on with barely any cpu usage and nothing happens at all????
just opened it thru gog downloader. did file integrity check. now setup_baldurs_gate.exe and the same but .tmp are listed as processes, hard drive light is always on, but 5-10% cpu usage and waiting forever......neither of those processes are using cpu....running vista with all current updates....was looking forward to playing this tonight...

Run as admin and give it a long time to be sure it's not working. Apparently on some systems (especially with Vista and Win7), it can take several minutes before it does anything.

I had trouble loading my 1st GoG game. I'd click on install, and nothing would happen, even though my PC gave indications that it was trying to obey the command.

I then turned off my internet connection, so I could disable my firewall. Disabling my firewall is what allowed my game to install. I've since done that w/all my GoG's, and haven't experienced any trouble thereof.

Hope this helps.

I'm on Vista and got the same problem, the bigger the setup file, the longer the wait. I recently installed Gothic 2, the file was about 2 Gb and it took about an hour to launch after checking the integrity of the file. The mouse cursor was "thinking" when I hovered it on the game folder but I could use the cpu like normal.
Can't wait to install the Witcher and its 8 Gigs
