I just bought KotOR 2 using some money I got as a Christmas present, and I am having no luck in getting it to start. I recently upgraded my computer and put Windows Vista Ultimate x64 on it, and now I am regretting that because I have been having a world of trouble with my old games, or even somewhat newer "old games". I went to Vista x64 because it's what was available to me in 64 bit (my university provides full installs of various operating systems as part of our technology fee) and I did not want to lose the memory to XP x86's memory addressing limits, but I think I would have been better off to have kept 32-bit and just lost the memory. I have installed KotOR 2 in compatibility mode for XP SP2 with Administrator privileges. The install works fine. Once it is installed, I try to run swkotor2.exe directly, in XP SP2 compatibility mode with Administrator privileges. I have updated my mss32.dll file as well. I get the LucasArts logo, then the Obsidian logo, and then the screen with the guy from the cover. After this, the application dies, and I get a message stating that the program has stopped responding. Here is the text of the error report.
