March 18, 200718 yr Weird. I got both KotOR and KotOR 2 working on my Vista system. Have you tried putting them in Windows XP compatibility mod?

March 18, 200718 yr I've seen some w/Vista who seem to run Kotor2 ok. I suspect like with any major O/S change it'll vary between users and other equipment they use. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

March 20, 200718 yr Why not making a Dual-Boot-System? Install XP on C: and Vista afterwards on another partition. Rain makes everything better.

March 20, 200718 yr Um... You can put the disc in, open the properties on that file, then select Windows XP on that executionable and install. It doesn't need to be already installed in order to make use of that feature.

March 21, 200718 yr My main problem with Vista is games that are OpenGL. My graphics card is Nvidia and I havent been able to run some games like City of Heroes so far. The OpenGL support in graphics drivers is lacking.

March 22, 200718 yr Once in a great while I do know what I am talking about. I call BS. So, are you saying that you can install a program while using Windows XP compatibility mode? Then you are wrong. You can. If this is about your personal feelings towards me then take it to PM for that is off topic to this poster's problem.

March 25, 200718 yr Author Good news!!! I open the game folder on the first KOTOR CD and selected de "Setup" myself to initiate the install mode. It worked. I guess this is the way to go when the install.exe doesn't kick in. Should have thought of this before. I figured I ended this thread with the statement: problem solved and also say thanks to everyone that posted in to help me out.
