Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks HELP!! Has anyone been perma-slowed???

I cannot get either of my characters out of sneak mode..
Have tried everything I can think of and all that folks on the Gameboomers forum thought of.

We're in Act I in the drill field area-went into sneak mode along halls
I want out of sneak mode it will not change no matter what I have tired or what I have done..and I've spent most of the day trying different things..
I have ALL of the patches downloaded...
Suggestions-help please

I really don't want to have to start over again....
