I get to finish the character creation and click accept.  The picture with tips appear and before the circle is 1/4 filled it switches over to windowed view and crashes.  I don't have the "windowed" option checked in the display options, I have full screen checked instead.  I noticed it also list only a OpenGL driver and no Direct3D.  I have a GeForce 6800GT

seeing as how you mentioned yr using full-screen, what screen resolution are you using? anything over 1024x768 is going to cause all sorts of strange crashing. if yr using over 1024x768, try reducing to that and seeing if it runs.

failing that, try clearing the cache folder and the temp folder, and trying again. the 1/4 loading screen usually indicates a problem loading the area art - either it randomly got corrupted when it was extracted from teh bif by the game engine, or the bif file is missing.

if clearing the cache and temp folder and trying again doesnt work - are you certain you did a full install of BG1 prior to installing everything else? were there any BG-related CDs or DVDs in any of yr machine's drives when you installed BGT?

I have it at the 800x600 resolution not the 1024x768.

I cleared out the temp and cache (which had just one bif file) and nothing changed it still crashed.

Area000b.bif appeared again in the cache/data folder

I did a full install of BG1.  Removed the CDX mentions.

No cd was in any of my optical drives.

This doesn't sound like a mod conflict problem, more like a hardware/driver settings problem or some area graphics didn't install.

Can you check 2 things:

1. That your DATA folder has necessary BGT BIF files: AREA0015.bif, AREA3100.bif, AREA3500.bif and others (should be at least 66 bif files starting with AREA).

2. That you can successfully start new game without any mods installed.

There are about 210 bif files in the data folder. All three of the files you listed are present.

When you say start a new game, do you mean to reinstall Baldurs Gate 1 with expansion and no mod and see if it works. (Yes I am aware of not altering the install in the BG2 dir).

I mean BG2 + ToB + patch with no other mods.

If you can run unmodded game without problems, try installing mods from your list one by one and checking each time whether the problem has appeared. I'm not sure what else to advise because your weidu.log looks fine and this order has worked well enough for other people.

Just to clarify, you're not using any non-weidu mods besides listed above?

Nope using only the modules list in the post:
BGT world map
Big Picture
Check the Bodies and Chores
DSotSC
BG2 Fixpack
NTotSC
Rot
Shadows over Soubar
SOBH
Darkest Day (v111 I think)

No other mods other than those listed for v177 were used. All versions were the exact ones specified in the instructions.
