I appears when your video card is just too awesome for a game engine made in 1998. The fix will apply to any Infinity Engine game -- Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, etc.
 
 • Download and install the Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit.
 • Run the Compatibility Administrator.
 • Click the "New" button up top to make a new database.
 • Click the "Fix" button to create a fix.
 • Name your fix (Suggestion: The name of the game).
 • Browse to find the game's executable file. Not the launcher, the game. (BGMain2.exe, torment.exe, etc.)
 • Click "Next."
 • On the Compatibility Modes screen, click "Next."
 • On Compatibility Fixes, check the box for "ForceDirectDrawEmulation."
 • Click "Next."
 • Click "Finish."
 • Save your database somewhere you will find it (like the game folder).
 • If you have any more Infinity Engine games, you can add their fixes to this database as well.
 
 To run the game:
 • Open Compatibility Administrator.
 • Open your database.
 • Select your Application.
 • Click the "Run" button up top.
 
 In Planescape: Torment, you will now notice another graphical glitch: Cursor trails on menus. The trails disappear after a few seconds. It is far less annoying than the flickering green portrait box glitch. There is no fix for both, you have to pick one or the other.
