Sand Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 (edited) Weird. I got both KotOR and KotOR 2 working on my Vista system. Have you tried putting them in Windows XP compatibility mod?

LadyCrimson Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I've seen some w/Vista who seem to run Kotor2 ok.

Calax Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 rule of thumb, wait a year before picking up the new system. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Bobba Fett Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 No dice for me. Windows XP is gone and Vista is here to stay. I will have to keep trying and hope for the best, or wait fot some patch or re-release of KOTOR. I have the international version for Europe, don

Morgoth Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Why not making a Dual-Boot-System? Install XP on C: and Vista afterwards on another partition. Rain makes everything better.

Sand Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 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.

Iolo Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 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.

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.

Bobba Fett Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 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.
