Well, I bought the US version of the game, it updated fine and everything is working! Thanks for all of your help.

I think I've figured it out. I had went cheap and bought an international version, I knew that when I bought it. Also, and besides the point, the wierd thing is, is that the movies were missing for some reason. So I contacted the seller on ebay and they said I could return it. I am going to buy a U.S. version and that should solve my problems. I had tried every domestic and international version of the patch, but with no luck. Thanks for the pointers.

Just to recap, I've tried the update program, then I uninstalled, removed all of the registry items that I could find, reinstalled, then tried the manual file, both stop at the same 95% on swkotor2.exe with a bad checksum. I redid both of those steps while only disabling my antivirus, but that didn't work either. I will try to entirely shutdown the .exe for my antivirus programs and see if that helps. I appreciate the help. Like I said, I know that that this is an old problem because the the other strings are all from quite awhile ago. I'll reread through the other strings to see if I missed anything. If not, maybe I need to buy it again, who knows.

I know this is an old problem, but I have thoroughly read each thread concerning this checksum problem. I just recently bought the game and have tried to update using the 1.0b update. I have disabled antivirus and the whole nine yards, I've tried the autoupdate and the manual, and it gives me a checksum error at 95% saying that swkotor2.exe is not the right version, then it exits the update program without updating the file. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times repeating everystep that I can think of, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. I have a pentium M, 1.7GHz, gig of ram, 32 MB video card.
