OK, I figured out what was wrong. First off, I followed your suggestion and I disabled the movies - this worked, but of course, I wasn't able to view any movies anymore which isn't a good thing. ) So then I remembered that I used an old ATI dll in the KOTOR2 directory to fix the well-known slowdown problem on Dantooine. Turns out that once I removed this dll file from the KOTOR2 directory, the problem cleared up (as it went back to using the latest Radeon 9600 driver - 5.7). So now I'm off Dantooine and my movies are working again.
