I have a BWP Recommended Install on Windows XP SP3 (x64) and non of the ellipsoid highlights are showing up. It is not a game breaking problem but it dose annoy me. Anyone have any suggestions on how I might fix this?

No clue what could even possibly cause this, as selection circles are hardcoded to animation slots. There is an effect that can remove them (usually temporarily) but I doubt this could possibly apply to *all* creatures in the game. Could be a video card driver but I dunno - if so I think you'd have other video glitches like black squares etc.
Unless I'm mistaken, there's no SP3 for Windows XP x64 (though there is for XP x32). The highest they released was SP2. Congrats on getting XP x64 installed at all successfully. I've done it on two different machines but it still has the occasional glitch (with USB drives for example).

You should be able to change the locator feedback settings in the Game Options. Have you had a look at that?

There's also a small but still a possible chance that the area texture files(tile set) is made so that when the character is on top of it the Ellipsoid Highlight is not shown, because the layer is already occupied or covered... we would need to know where Outdor has been... the x button reveals the area name.

I have been all the way from Candlekeep to FAI and down to Nashkel. The problem Spontaneously Resolved itself but has now returned. I think it might be a video/Direct X Issue as it affects all the creatures in the Game and the Map Screen. Am going reinstall my Video and Direct X drivers, will let you know if that works.
