If I choose to start a new BG2 game as mage, I wont get to choose spells other then the ones I choose at level 1 when creating the character.

This leaves my character rather gimped and its not what I remember from BG2 (orignial) back in the days. I realize that the idea is to continue from BG1 and thus you will have your spellbook filled, but I played a different class in BG1 and wanted to try something else now in BG2.

Hello

This is what I did

1) Install BG1
2) Install BG1 - ToSC
3) Install latest patch for ToSC
4) Install BG2
5) Install BG2 - ToB
6) Install latest patch for ToB
7) Install BG2Fixpack-v9
Install BGT
9) Install BG2Tweakpack-v9
10) Install Widescreen mod

According to somewhere I read this is what I was supposed to do if I remember correctly. This is the first time I try BGT so I have never got it to work on my computer.

So the problem. When I enter the game via BG2 everything goes fine up until I press 'Done' after character creation. Then then screen goes black with no music or anything happening. Ive been trying to wait a while just incase but after 2-3 minutes I closed it. This is where the "Nestled atop the cliff, there lies Candlekeep..." speech is started if I remember correctly. So I wonder, have I done something wrong? Is my computer too powerfull? (as I cant play Diablo2-LoD, twitching and rainbow colors everywhere).

Thanks
