My first problem with getting the game to launch has been fixed, but now I'm having another problem proceeding past character creation. When I finish making my character and try to proceed, it tells me it does not detect CD2 in drive E and cannot continue until it does.
I got the game via the recent Impulse sale on Atari classics, and I am using a 64 bit Vista computer, and the program is running in Windows XP compatibility mode.
In case it is relevant, here are the contents of my baldur.ini file (after modifying it to get the game to launch properly at all):

I've tried it with and without the \CD2 in the directory, and have also tried replacing the directory with C:\Game. None of that worked.
Any ideas on how to get this working?
