Okay, I've seen several similar problems to this, but I don't think I've seen this exact one. (bonus points for alliteration) I'm trying to run KOTOR II on my new laptop. Its a Compaq Presario V5000Z. Basic specs are as follows. 2.2GHz Turion 64 1 gig ram 120 gig hard disk ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress 200m (128mb) From what I've seen I'm pretty sure the problem lies with my ATI card, but first let me explain what happens. When I start up the game it loads fine, the intro credit things load fine (LA, Obsidian, etc) but when I get to the menu, suddenly these blocks of miscolored pixels start invading my screen. If I close the game quickly I can halt their advance, but if I wait and try to fight them off, they over power me, and eventually cover the whole screen making it very difficult to see what I'm doing. The really interesting thing (and by interesting I mean disturbing) is that it often continues after I close the game, infecting my normal windows desktop. Needless to say, this is extremely annoying. I have KOTOR II patched to current, and I've tried several different things I've seen suggested for drivers, but to no avail. If anyone has faced a similar foe and defeated it, or has insight into my problem, I would be most greatful. I thank you. Humbly your's, Kirran Grey
