if it is a problem with securom is there anything i can do about it? that would make the most sense because the disk will still autoplay the launch screen when i insert the disk. i went to the intel website and downloaded the latest drivers also, and it didnt help.

so i bought swkotor2, began installing it, and was told several times before inserting next disc that the wrong disk was in the drive, after inserting disk one, asked to insert disk 3, 4. this may be the beginning of my problems, but who knows. let me first say that my graphics card (intel 82852/55 gm/gme) does not allow me to view movies. odd, considering the fact that my card is 64 mb when only 32 is required. i believe where i encounter problems is the open GL requirement. mine is intel 1.3 while open gl generic 1.4 is required. anyway in kotor1 this was not a problem since i simply disabled the movies. this is also what i intended on doing kotor2, however after hitting the "game" button on the launch screen, i receive a "wrong cd: insert cd/dvd" error. (and yes, i am using the play disk, no it is not scratched) after reading some wonderful forums on this site, i decided to use a no cd patch since, after all, i did purchase the game legally, and reading the play disk seemed to be my computers problem. enter problem number two: though i had disabled movies in the configure menu and in the kotor ".ini" file, the no cd crack obviously didnt read these changes, and decided to play the movies anyway. oddly enough, the "legal" bink movie plays fine, but after i create a character and hit "play", my window is minimized and my computer shuts off the game automatically. my friend and i just graduated and have both taken interest in the kotor games, and he has a new dell laptop. the play disk will also not read in his cd drive after installing, however i do not believe it is a problem with the cd because it works flawlessly on his family's desktop. i am extremely excited to start this game and am going to be extremely dissapointed if i cant. is it impossible on my averatec laptop? please reply...
