Basically, I've got a freshly re-OSed machine with the most current drivers (I've rolled back too). I've reloaded several save games in an attempt to dodge this bug. There's a few spoilers here, so sorry. I'm in the hallway leading to the arena in Visquis' underground hideout beneath the Jekk Jekk Tar. Essentially, right after all the cut-scenes finish, when Kreia is ressurecting Hanharr, and the fade to your character begins, the screen freezes, and I get a windows hard crash (KOTOR CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY, BLAH BLAH BLAH). I've tried running things on minimal settings, disabling movies, pretty much everything. I've applied all possible updates to the game, and tried playing through without updates. I am COMPLETELY stumped. Is this game just so buggy that there's no point in trying to finish it? I understand that it's been years since its release, so hope of vendor support is nigh impossible to hope for. Oddly enough NWN2 has been quite the trial to play as well...

I have precisely the same issue. I have reinstalled, updated, updated my drivers (I have a laptop with an Nvidia Quadro NVS), and generally tried to get everything as up to snuff as it gets. I've had periodic crashes, but this one is the same EVERY time.
