Many older games use direcrdraw instead of directx which has lots of issues with modern hardware, but you can just copy paste a wrapper file into the game folder to fix it. I fixed it by using something called ddwrapper . Drop the files in the BG1 folder and set everything to 1 in the config file except fps display and if you're like me then it should work correctly and will even make the performance much better.
There's also DDrawCompat which you can just drop in the folder. I haven't tried it with BG1 but I've had luck using it with other older games.
