i am having problems getting my game to work every time i try to start the game it brings up an error message saying that kotor2 has had an errror an will now close any help would be most appreciated

go to Program Files > Lucas Arts and browse around till u find swkotor2.exe and click that and see if it works

it didn't work i tried going to the game startup menu and scanned my hardware it said i was missing something called open gl

does anyone have advice

I guess just make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date .....

Unfortunately, from what I understand a lack of the right OpenGL means that your graphics card will not run KotOR 2. I'm told that it's not soething that can be updated with drivers. That would mean either a return or a new graphics card.
