Ok well I am going to reinstall the Directx Driver.... and go to its folder and complettely remove it first JUST in case a piece of the old DX stayed behind and is conflicting with the rest of it.... dont know.... still fighting this. I will keep playing with it.... just wish I knew exactly where to go...... or what to do its getting extremely frustrating with this black line everyonce in awhile and places and yes you are right what is it with the DX test ... in full screen mode does the same exact thing there must be a setting that I can go too to change it or what have you. Alos you say you have about the same vide card.... My video card only offers a 60hz refresh rate nothing else and only 800x600, 900x600, and 1024x768 rez and nothing else..... will keep playing with it. hey and thanks again for all the help

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now could it also be the graphic control driver for the actual motherboard....? if that is completely out of date will it not coinside with the video card and there can be some conflictions? between the actual mother board and the video card if the driver for the mother board is not brought up to speed?

Would that be the third and last DirectDraw test? The full screen bouncing box? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes it is the full screen bouncing box I get the same line and the line isnt vertical it is horizontal.... at the bottom of the screen say a 3" black line its like the movie is being pushed up in some way or another.... The game is in the 60 refresh rate and will not allow me to make another choice on this... But this is again also happening on the WinXP loading. same line same distance and size on the monitor but when the desktop hits and loads everything is ok. Same thing with the game.... loading there is that horizontal line at the bottom but when the game is up and running it is fine.... Currently I am running 1024x768 rez and the card will only allow me to go down to 800x600 rez.... but it is saying that only the movies run in 640x480 is there a setting on the card itself or is the card automatically supposed to register this and go to the appropriate resolution?

"Why are the movies not properly centered during gameplay? Movies in Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords play at 640x480 resolution. If you are experiencing movies playing off center, your monitor may not be properly aligned for a 640x480 display. Please adjust your monitor alignment while a movie is playing to resolve this issue. " I found this in the troubleshooting area of lucas arts for this game..... And this only happens during gameplay and Win XP load screen.... is there some way to adjust the video card to recognize this.... and still be able to play the game at my normal 1024X768....? The person resoponding to this forum constantly has the same card and has no problems so, it has to be a setting on my card...?

It only happens when windows comes up and with this game only when the game loads and when the movies play for it other than that ALL else is fine..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh yeah it actually does this when I do my /run dxdiag test it does the same thing when the nivida box starts to move around its a half screen as well

It only happens when windows comes up and with this game only when the game loads and when the movies play for it other than that ALL else is fine.....

Ok did this still doing it....... is it a setting on my actual nvidia controls?

I am using the latest driver's from Nvidia.com 71.89 the latest Direct X 9.0c and the ini file is well where is ini file.... I am running 1024X768..... also I might want to mention that when booting up the pc and the window's xp thing say's loading I get the same thing....

when ever the game loads or runs a movie there is black bar at the bottom of the screen and I only see half the movie I have a decent vid card Nvidia 5900xt ultra..... I have a ton of newer games that run perfectly fine as well as 3 MMO's and their opening movies are fine trying to figure out what is going on with it..... when playing the game it is fine just with the movies Thank you very much for the help
