Please help...ATI Radeon 9200

[visser19]

Hi everyone!

 

I am brand new here at Obssidian and I need some help bad.

 

I have just recieved KOTOR 2 and Installed the game and ran the config. Everything is good but that my computer is 1.3 gig but it still says game requirments met.

 

I have a ATI Radeon Sapphire 9200 graphics card and it has played everygame I've tried except 2 KOTOR and KOTOR 2. I have the latest drivers from ATI and even have tried Omega graphics drivers when I start the game the loading sequences go fine but when I finally get to the menu thats where I have problems.

 

This happens on KOTOR 1 and KOTOR 2. The screen flickers, for the most part you can't see anything then it will flash and you will then it will flash again and you won't. You can still pick all the options and even start the game but the screen dosn't get any better.

 

Now here is the strange part if I plug a usb part into the computer....ie I have a usb keyboard that is partially broken and if I plug that into the computer the screen clears up to be perfect. I then can play normal for about 2 to 3 minutes and then it will start to flicker again. If I then unplug the usb it goes back to normal. 2 to 3 minutes later it will flicker again and if I plug in again normal.

 

Now on KOTOR 1 it did the same thing and at the time I was usuing the usb keyboard and it had volume control in the upper right hand side (it was a knob you could rotate clockwise and counterclockwise.) For some reason when I was playing KOTOR 1 if I turned that the graphics would return to normal and I beat the game using that method. I just had to do it once everytime I started the game and the graphics would be normal the whole time I played.

 

Since then that keyboard has broke and the method does not work with KOTOR 2.

 

So if anybody had any ideas plese help

 

Thanks
