It can run in XP, because my desktop computer (which is the only one in my house that will run KOTOR 2!) uses Windows XP. But I'm having the exact same issue (the game crashed right after the first video) on the laptop that I'm now trying to run the game on. It uses xp but it has an Intel graphics card. I know it's crappy, but after much ado, I have gotten the game to at least start. When I first tried to run it the game wouldn't start at all. I just got the "this program needs to close" message right away. Now I've installed the latest driver, the 1.0 Lucasarts patch, and TSLRCM, and it lets me create a character with no glitches and shows me the opening credits and first video (the Hawk flying to Peragus). But that's it. Then the screen goes blank, all I hear are the background noises, and then that same "Program needs to close" message pops up. So I don't know what to do. I've tried lowering my screen and game resolution, changing the "flip" thing to "blit" like for KOTOR 1, and toggled down my texture pack to "low," but nothing has helped. I might try disabling sound, but I don't really want to play the game without sound, so I don't know that it's worth it. Maybe the game won't play with my lousy graphics card, but if not, I would think it wouldn't even let me create a character, or it would be glitchy during character creation or something. Usually I've found that that's an indicator that the game isn't going to work. I'd post my specs, but I have absolutely no computer saavy and wouldn't know what to look for anyway, or where to look for it. If anyone has any other suggestions, that's be great.
