You do know that 64-bit OSes can run 32-bit apps, right? thats right, kotor1 is running for example... but some 32bit apps dont work, like Battlefield 2142

I use vista home premium (64bit)... i installed the plugins as u suggested. But when i wanna start the game theres this crapy "KOTOR2 doesnt work anymore" or something... i dont get it, KOTOR1 is running whitout probs. I got the most recent nvidia forceware driver. i just solved the problem with securom and now this... Does anyone know whats going on here? Thx a lot:)

Hi guys... i have a problem running kotor2. maybe this question has been posted earlier but not this way i think. i bought my kotor2 a few years ago, i played it on my old pc (winXP pro, SE2) whitout having probs. Now, years later, i wanted to play it on my new one. -Win Vista Home Premium (64bit) -AMD X2 Dual Core 4600+ -1 GB Ram (actually i would have 2, but one is currently reperature) -GeForce 7950 GT (I downloaded the ForceWare Release 162.22 from nvidia.com) Well, i installed the game without probs. after that i updated it via ingame-updater from 2.0 to 2.1. no probs either ok, and here is the problem. as soon as i start the game, the hardware-test stars running, and there is an error with my videocard. a deteiled hardware scan below: [sWKotOR] ReportDateTime=08.09.2007 11:24:01 SysInfoVersion=v1.00.60 GameExists=1 GameVersion=v2.10.427 GameInstallLocation= F:\\Programme\\LucasArts \\SWKotOR2\\ [OS] Name=WinXP Version=Windows XP v5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 2 Service Pack=None Status=Pass [swapFiles] ?:\\pagefile.sys=0 [CPU] CPUCount=2 CPUSpeed=2411 CPUFamily=15 CPUModel=11 CPUStepping=2 CPUVendor=AMD CPUName=AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+ Status=Pass [Memory] RAM=1024 Status=Pass [Disk Free Space] C: (NTFS), UNICODE=19.98GB E: (NTFS), UNICODE=80.85GB F: (NTFS), UNICODE=15.08GB Status=Pass [CD-ROMs] DriveLetters=D:\\ Drives=TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182D ATA Device [Video] Video Card Name= Video Memory=1024 Desktop Resolution=0x0x0 DirectX=DirectX 9.0c (4.09.00.0904) OpenGL Version=2.1.1 OpenGL Vendor=NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Renderer= GeForce 7950 GT/PCI/SSE2 NVidia Driver=(null) Vid Card Status=Warning Vid Card Driver Status=Fail GL Status=Pass DX Status=Pass [Audio] Sound Card Name=@oem6.inf, %ctaudio_device .dev2.amd64%;SB Audigy LS Status=Pass ;Game Options from swkotor2.ini [Display Options] FullScreen=1 Disable Movies=0 Disable Intro Movies=0 Sort Modules=1 Width=640 Height=480 BitsPerPixels=32 RefreshRate=60 [sound Options] Sound Init=1 Disable Sound=0 Force Software=0 [Graphics Options] EnableHardwareMouse=1 FullScreen=0 RefreshRate=85 Width=1280 Height=1024 Emitters=1 Anisotropy=1 Frame Buffer=1 Soft Shadows=1 Brightness=57 V-Sync=0 Texture Quality=2 Anti Aliasing=0 [Game Options] Disable Movies=0 [config] firstrun=0 ----------- my driver details: (hardware-manager) driver version: 7.15.11.6222 driver date: 07/06/2007 But the hardwarescan STILL shows me the error: Your drivers are out of date (or old or sumthin, i use the german version) NVIDIA Cards require the detonator-driver 45.23 or better (WHAT is the detonator-driver??? i obviously DO have the most recent driver, aint i ?! (OPEN GL test is OK) well, the seccond problem is: everytime i start the game whitout noticing the hardware test, following text appear: Please remove the disc and put the cd/dvd in another drive. WHY does this appear, my disc isnt scratched or sumthin, has this something to do with copy-protection???!! I would really appreciate if you can help me guys. Thanks
