Loading Screens Freezing on Peragus

[stonebrain]

Hi. I just purchased KOTOR 2 yesterday, and I'm currently at the beginning of Peragus II. I'm on the mission where I have to go and record the voices of the Maintenance officer to open the airlock door to the space outside. Well, I've been exploring around the station for a while, and every now and then, when I enter either the Peragus Fuel level or the Administration level, the loading screen comes up, and it stops about 3/4 of the way through and just sits there. The first time this happend I sat waiting for about 3 or 4 minutes before I finally decided that the game had frozen. Since that first time, it's happened twice more. I was just wondering if anyone else experiences these problems or if anyone knows what is causing my game to do this. Any advice would be appreciated.
