Masta Revan Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 (edited) My Kotor game finally doesn't want to work. I have tried everything to help i think. At first a long time ago it didn't work when i first had it but it finally kicked and worked nice with great graphics and everything 2yrs later it just doesn't work and don't know what to do. One problem is the openGL but i don't know what to do about that if it was working Please help thanks swinfo.txt Edited June 2, 2007 by Masta Revan I pitty the fool who don't have the force.

LadyCrimson Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Can you be a little more specific about the "not working" part? Could the disc just be fubared? I'm also a little mystified why your video card isn't even showing a card name, let alone "Video Memory=0" - even if it's on-board/integrated video, shouldn't it show something in those two details? ... “Things are as they are.

metadigital Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Sounds like a video card issue, given the limited info: the cut-scenes need more juice than the title sequence and menu. How did it "stop working"? Does any other game (or significant GPU draw) work? Also, this shouldn't be here ... either Skeeter's or KotOR2.

Also, this shouldn't be here ... either Skeeter's or KotOR2. well i also decided to install some other games of mine and they didn't work either so i finally decided to just come here. games like: battle front 2 which "was" also working perfectly, and Battlefield 1942 just randomly doesn't work either. Yeah its pretty random and weird that none of my games all the sudden don't work. But last time i tried those games was before we formated the computer now months later after the format i decided to install the games so maybe something possibly happened in that time period that making the game stop working. But what could possibly go wrong with a graphics card when time goes by....... Also what is a GPU draw. thanks I pitty the fool who don't have the force.

metadigital Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 What could go wrong is the drivers for the GPU: the software component that manages the graphics capabilities and is updated frequently. A corrupt driver would result in your system not being able to identify the video card. What is the card? What drivers have you installed for it? (For example, you could update the installed Windows DirectX driver to version 9.0c, if your video card can handle version 9.) (My comment should have read "orf significant GPU draw", meaning an application that draws a lot of "graphical complexity". ) OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 So, it's a PCI Nvidia? The software that came with the card will tell you what model ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bokishi Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 According to that, it's not detecting your video card. Reinstall its drivers? --------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: Manufacturer: Chip type: DAC type: Device Key: Enum\ Display Memory: n/a Current Mode: 800 x 600 (32 bit) (1Hz) Monitor: Monitor Max Res: Driver Name: vga.dll Driver Version: 5.01.2600.0000 (English) DDI Version: unknown Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 8/4/2004 07:00:00, 9344 bytes WHQL Logo'd: Yes WHQL Date Stamp: n/a VDD: n/a Mini VDD: vga.sys Mini VDD Date: 8/4/2004 07:00:00, 20992 bytes Device Identifier: {D7B70EE0-4340-11CF-B063-282AAEC2C835} Vendor ID: 0x0000 Device ID: 0x0000 SubSys ID: 0x00000000 Revision ID: 0x0000 Revision ID: 0x0000 Video Accel: Deinterlace Caps: n/a Registry: OK DDraw Status: Not Available D3D Status: Not Available AGP Status: Not Available DDraw Test Result: Not run D3D7 Test Result: Not run D3D8 Test Result: Not run D3D9 Test Result: Not run Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masta Revan Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 how exactly could i reinstall the drivers I pitty the fool who don't have the force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 The easiest option would be to find new drivers and installing them (which would effectively replace your current drivers). If however you have the newest drivers, you can uninstall them via the windows control panel under "add/remove programs" - I would also recommend a driver cleaner program, since some drivers tend to have somthing against being deleted and needs some forceful encouragement.

Masta Revan Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Well it turns out that I have all the newest stuff cause my computer said i have everything so i was just wondering would it be best if I just formated my computer? I also cleaned the drivers and didn't do much thanks I pitty the fool who don't have the force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I wouldn't format unless it was the last resort. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
