I have played through a bit of KOTOR2 when it was released but never actually finished it and ended up uninstalling it but recently decided to reinstall it again. When i played it before i made it a little ways past the secret academy on Telos but now I'm getting problems trying to get out of the academy and some weird shader problems after a driver update. So my original problem was that after it would play the video of you leaving the academy it would load then my mouse would show up but stay on a black screen, though i could still hear and click on the interface. So i figured it was a driver problem so i updated my catalyst drivers from 7.10 to 7.12. Now that problem still persists only i get longer load times and now my shaders like the blur effect when you use the jedi speed boost are screwed up. I also tried reinstalling and updating, no luck there either. I'm running Windows XP Pro (up to date), Pentium 4 2.4 GHz, Radeon 9600 Pro 256, and 1 Gig of ram. Heres my settings.
Shadows- On
Grass- On
Resolution- 1024x768 @ 85Hz

I also made a short 1:39 video so you can actually see whats going on. For some reason Fraps didnt pick up the cursor or the video of the ship leaving the hangar so please be patient through out the blackness .
