Expo86

So I recently decided to reinstall KotOR2, and I wanted to enable the console to make the play through a bit speedier. I followed all the instructions like Running Notepad as an Admin and editing swkotor.ini, which all worked without a hitch. However, once I'm in the game I can't get the console to activate by pressing the tilde key. Now I know the KotOR2 console is invisible but when I hit the tilde key then start typing, my character moves around like there is no console active. Any help on the issue would be appreciated, I'm running Windows 7 64bit BTW thanks in advance!
