January 2, 200818 yr The game is not recognizing my Nvidia 8600 GT as a card that is acceptable (it fails the scan), and is therefore not allowing my computer to display any higher than 800x600 (so it appears). Even though I've told it to run in 1280X960. I see no difference in 800X600 and any of the other display modes. I've changed every option that the program allows me to change and have also utilized the nvidia loader as well. No change. I ran the TSL hardware scanner and I get this: SWKotOR] ReportDateTime=1/2/2008 9:38:13 AM SysInfoVersion=v1.00.60 GameExists=1 GameVersion=v2.10.427 GameInstallLocation=C:\Program Files\LucasArts\SWKotOR2\ [OS] Name=WinXP Version=Windows XP v5.1 build 2600 Service Pack 2 Service Pack=Service Pack 2 Status=Pass [swapFiles] C:\pagefile.sys=2046 [CPU] CPUCount=2 CPUSpeed=2110 CPUFamily=15 CPUModel=11 CPUStepping=1 CPUVendor=AMD CPUName=AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ Status=Pass [Memory] RAM=2048 Status=Pass [Disk Free Space] C: (NTFS), UNICODE=254.80GB Status=Pass [CD-ROMs] DriveLetters=D:\,E:\ Drives=HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR-H30N,Optiarc DVD RW AD-7190A [Video] Video Card Name=NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT Video Memory=512 Desktop Resolution=1440x900x32 @ 60Hz DirectX=DirectX 9.0c (4.09.00.0904) OpenGL Version=2.1.1 OpenGL Vendor=NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL Renderer=GeForce 8600 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW!

January 2, 200818 yr Try to change the resolution directly in swkotor2.ini "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
January 3, 200818 yr Author Try to change the resolution directly in swkotor2.ini tried that, no change what so ever no matter what resolution I change it to. It apparently is running in 640X480. Yes, very ugly. Thank you very much for the tip though!
January 3, 200818 yr This is a very odd problem. However, note that in the ini, there are two different places with resolution values. Have you tried to change both the values in both those places?

January 3, 200818 yr if it makes you feel any better, neither KotOR 1 or 2 recognize my 8800 GTS. while it runs kinda okay, whenever i kill someone or open a chest or interact with a computer or my inventory, i get a hardlock. my character won't do anything. i have to save, exit and reload. kinda takes the fun out of playing the game. not to mention it's making me impossibly frustrated. i'm gonna try setting up a Windows 98 VM and see if that works at all. wish me luck. will let you know what happens with that. V***V well whatever nevermind
January 3, 200818 yr using windows virtual machine didn't help. i wish i had kept my old win me machine, instead of giving it away. V***V Edited January 3, 200818 yr by vesselle well whatever nevermind
January 4, 200818 yr Author KOTOR I supports my 8600 GT...but KOTOR II does not. How interesting. I can play the game, it just looks worse than my XBOX version >.<--that I gave away. Sounds like we in the same boat. and yes, i changed the resolution in both places--keep them suggestions coming and thank you everyone for your help so far!
