[obi-jon kenobi]

I have a copy of Kotor2 but disc 1 wont autorun and i cant run the manual install file from the cd because i get an error stating mss32.dll isnt found.

any ideas?

Check the FAQ section of the forum. But I don't think this is a Vista problem exclusivly....I seem to recall getting that error message under Win 98 before now on other games. If you still have the Vista disk you could try reinstalling Vista if all else fails-it shouldn't delete anything other than your current window settings, as the install program checks to see what programs you already have installed on your computer. Of course if you try this and it fails don't blaime me, I will take no responsibilty if it decides to format your harddrive.

 

Anyone else with technical knowledge know how to solve this in a simpler way?
