Only one I have is Jedi Academy. Of course right now I'd just like to get Sith Lords to work LOL

Ahhh I was late coming onboard with that series, so never played that particular game. Thats rather an impressive feat though, most impressive

Hmmmm?

Well there is something to be said for the ammount of strong in the force she must have to exist as a floating head. Mira the demi-lich!

I'll try installing Freedom Force vs The Third Reich, that always ran without a hitch on it as well. In fact I bought the graphics card in the machine to play that game specifically.

Well inept as I am with such matters, I shall leave the new Vista computer be, and just continue trying to find the problem on the XP computer that I know runs the game. Maybe the drivers for that computer are to updated now as well, since I downloaded the most recent ones.

I just recently got a new computer with Vista. After going through MUCH grief trying to get the first KotOR to work I gave up and concentrated on getting my older XP computer to run again. The problem was most likely updated drivers, you need to roll back if you want to play NWN I, Kotor I, or Kotor II. That would suck out loud, as then I'd just have to update again for the newer games. I realllllyy prefer PC over platforms, but moments like this I see why some people like them better. Well for the moment I'll just keep both computers running and use XP for those games. Assuming they will even work on that now. Given that I have just got to the dreaded door for the second time and still have the same problem even with the new series of save games. Not to mention the other little issues I am noting, like the screen blurring into obscurity when using any speed powers or racing. I really do not want to retire these games, and yet they are becoming unplayable.

New interesting oddity. When using any of the speed powers, or when racing the screen gradually starts to vanish behind a wall of yellow lines and multi-colored patches. Again this is something new that never used to occur in the days when I first bought and played the game on this exact same machine. Oddities, seem to abound.

Well hopefully updating to the most recent drivers will help the problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed at least

I just recently got a new computer with Vista. After going through MUCH grief trying to get the first KotOR to work I gave up and concentrated on getting my older XP computer to run again. I played KotOR from start to finish without a hitch, and SL played to that point without issue.

Is it only in 'indoor' areas? And are the lines basically polygonal? Sort of like concentric diamonds, or weird 4 sided shapes radiating from the centre of the screen? Polygonal, radiating from lettering on the screen and the mesh of the character to the left. I've since done a cold reboot of the computer and corrected it. I am just curiou if it speaks of some larger issue with the graphics card. If it is in any way related to the original and still ongoing issues with Mira and the door that isn't a door.

Hmmm OK I upgraded to the most recent drivers for the card, and now when I load the game, the start screen goes totally crazy. Lines streaking all across from whatever model and dialog on the screen. This has happened before, with KotOR and SL, and I have managed to restart and fix it. Just thought I better note it though in the event it is important, a symptom of a larger problem or something.

I am updated to 1.ob yes. I seem able to move around without any issues at all, not so much as a pause. But when I hit that door there is an option to open it, but it just never opens. Mira approaches it, walks away, approaches again, rinse repeat endlessly.

Very interesting, thank you. I wonder if thats the reason she won't enter that door. Curious as I am even now playing the game without issue. I started over thinking there might have been some issue in the save games. If I encounter the same issue again, I'll see if there is anything requiring updating. Odd that the game ran as is with the same level of update in the past without a hitch.

ATI Catalyst. It ran he game when I first bought it low these several years ago, without much trouble at all. It just ran the first game start to finish without any issues or hangups either.
