Nope. But you guys who thought processor were close. See below (I typed a form letter, so sue me) Many thanks to all for their suggestions and assistance. I FINALLY got somewhere. both my KOTOR and KOTOR 2 TSL games are now working. Video wise anyhow. I found the answer on Lucasarts tech support forum. A user named Emkay1001 suggested to someone else with the same problem that they upgrade their processor drivers. He provided links (see below) and now the video on my game is working properly. Now if I could just learn how to be more evil some way, My dark side characters always suck! AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (x86 and x64) AMD Dual-Core Optimizer

Not to my knowledge. (I had it on 1024x768, but also tried it with 800x600) I'll check out the ram thing.

Found a gadget that gives me ALL the specs.

How might I test the temperature during gameplay?

I'll try it. Thanks for the idea.

Ok, so I recently built (clarification: Had built) a new computer. Has a souped up video card. NVIDIA 8600 GTS to be precise. For some reason it is not working with KOTOR2. I can play for about 5 minutes, and the video goes to pot. I believe it is probably a driver issue (6.14.0011.6921), I think the newest drivers are connecting with the game because it is older. Someone suggested that the game is not understanding the drivers for the newer cards because of a reading error. I wondered if a patch could be constructed to fix this. So I came here to the game developers site. Hope I wasn't too unclear. Tell me what details you needand i'll get them for you.
