Before i said that i had everything working, turns out that my KotOR game crashed again after this and still refuses to work. I'm trying KotOR 2 now after restarting with a lot of services disabled and other configurations to free memory. On the Ebon hawk at the beginning when i was moving around a few small panels by the garage door turned green, i'm seen this same problem happen in K1 as well and i know it means im going to have more problems, most likely of the crashing variety. Here's my specs once again for anybody that knows of a remedy to this problem, im looking into upgrading my system soon, but i cant help but feel that neither of these games will ever work properly. Pentium 4 2.66 Ghz Processor BFG Geforce 5700 FX OC 512mb DDR Ram I've updated to the latest patch through the autoupdater as well, i just dont understand why these games won't work without problems, especially K1, they used to work fine, it just seems as time goes on the reliability has dropped a hell of a lot.

Thanks guys, i've got it running perfectly now :D i think you were right MacLeod, ever since running the discs in my dvd drive i haven't had any problems at all. I'm now back playing in dantooine with no crashes, been playing all afternoon.

Thanks for the input guys, ive updated my drivers for the AC97 audio ones and ive had the latest nvidia drivers for a while. A while back i installed guild wars and i kept the cd in when playing, no crashes ever there, but then i dont know if it even read from the disc because i later learned i dont need the disc to play the game. I've got a dvd drive however and i can always plonk the discs in there and if it does the same problem again then i'll know if its actually the drive playing up or not. As for that sound however, its not from the cd drive, i know this for sure, ive never heard it click a certain number of times and then get faster before stopping. It comes from my speakers, difficult to describe, but i'll soon know if it does it again or not.

Hey all, i haven't been here in a while. Recently i've been playing K1 and K2 again and i only thought K1 had this problem but now its just happened to me on K2 as well! When i'm playing for unknown reasons the game will crash, this is usually followed straight away by a weird noise, kinda like a tapping noise. I don't know what's causing this but i can provide the following info.

Hey all, i've just signed up and i thought instead of making yet another new thread listing problems i'd add mine here to see what you all think. I think there might be an answer for my problem. I have suffered from loading a game with three party members, just to have the other two party members disappear. What struck me as odd about this though is when i tried adding them back to my party on the character screen. Down in the right hand corner where another characters class and level are usually displayed i had a message that read "I'm so broken, so very very broken". I saw this and wondered what was going on but loading an autosave solved the problem. Another problem i frequently have is the game will freeze or my pc will restart unexpectedly. I've read that many people are having this problem. I've changed my drivers and don't think that they have anything to do with it. I had the 66.93 nvidia drivers and now i'm trying the beta ones. The thing is though, everytime my pc restarts or crashes and i have to restart it i get an error msg once i log in that says my graphics card couldn't perform a drawing operation. If anyones curious heres my specs. Windows XP 2.66Ghz Processor 512mb Ram BFG GeForce FX 5700 OC Apart from that all i'm hoping for is a patch because this games great and i'm sat here desperate to play, but holding back because i know that the errors will occur again. If you've read this far, then thanks a lot for your time. :cool:
