Damn, The image might work if you try it. I just don't have an activation key like I said.
Just look for the Beyond Divinity mini image. Then download Daemon tools. Mount the image. and Start up the game (not with the no-cd crack .exe of course)
I was going to help though with this problem, I would hate for someone to have it if they where to buy the game. That always pisses me off.
No need. i own 2 original copies. This problem is only related to the no-cd crack, which is not supported by larian at all. So there is no reason to asume people who bought the game (through legal channels - original) will ever experience it. and if they do, larian will provide them with a solution (not on win 64 and other non supported OS's though).
The first time this specific problem occured is after the no-cd crack got released. and presumably both times by people using the no-cd crack.
