    I am having this exact issue as well. I was playing the game before the update and it worked perfectly fine. Now every time I attempt to push the "Play" button on the launcher (where it displays update details), it crashes and gives me a dump file.

    I have tried restarting cpu, updating drivers, using the "repair installer" button, and reinstalling the game also, and the problem is still there.

    Same problem for me...

    It worked well before patch 1.2 then I lost my saves (I know it's "my fault") and the game crash everytime...

    I have the Steam version. Worked fine until the 1.2 patch. After that, I couldn't start the game.

    I got mine working again by disabling DEP. I thought it was a little strange, because in my experience Windows will tell you if DEP is shutting down a program - but I wasn't getting anything like that.

    Good luck!

    Some informations in addition :

    The game crash every time I launch it.

    I'm running Windows 7 on an Alienware M14 (Intel HD graphic + geforce 555M). Whatever graphic card I use, it crash...
    Drivers have been updated
    Game has been reinstalled entirely (after complete deletion of all directories even in "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition")
    No mods installed before...

    It worked before patch 1.2 but no more after...

    Check your windows color depth. BG:ee 1.2 wouldn't boot at my Windows 7 laptop as well, until i set the windows color depth at 32-bit.

    You're a genious!!!

    It worked.

    I was on a 16bits colour settings and put it on 32 bits. I also set the refresh frequency to 60hz instead of 40hz and now the game can be launched.

    It doesn't crash anymore.

    thanks a lot for the help!!

    BGEE doesn't starts here too since the patch. I have no error message, just the beamdog button doing nothing. I redownloaded it after deleting every file, but i noticed that the "my documents" folder wasn't created. Is this normal after a fresh installation ?
    Hopefully BG2EE won't be concerned by these problems.

    Ok, i solved my problem. It was related with the OpenAL32.dll. http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/347105#Comment_347105
