Problem Playing KOTOR 1 & 2 On My Laptop

[Darth Burden]

Hello all, I am having a problem playing KOTOR 2 on my laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon X600 128 MB PCI Express Card, the laptop I have is a HP Pavilion zd8110us, the problem I am having is the movie videos minimize to the desktop and play like in a window's mode, also I can't even play KOTOR 1 at all because when it comes to a load screen it crashes to the desktop. I've tryed to search for other drivers for this card I have but there are no others, very strange thing is every other game I have plays just fine, but KOTOR's will not? is anyone else out there having this problem?

 

Thank You For Your Time...

I've had that minized to a window when video plays thing too when I was on my dad's laptop, but kotor 1 worked. I never tried kotor2 on it.

Why post about the problems you are having with the game? Its not like Obsidian or LucasArts will do anything to fix them.

well, technically, its their jobs to fix them, especially since they rushed it out for a quick buck during the xmas holiday.

Oh sure...go and get technical about it why don't you! :ph34r:

I had problems with my laptop you can see how I dealt with it at here (I think I did that right).

 

Check out what Swaaye has to say, seems a very knowlgable guy. It seems to me that how I got mine to work was just luck more than anything else.

 

Also I'm still using catalyst 5.5 and I'm near the end and about to .... oh no spoilers here!

 

Once finished I might try a reply with the 5.7 catalyst.

 

I haven't had to do anything for KotOR 1, so I can't help there.

 

Good Luck!
