My Kotor games, both K1 and K2 don't seem to like my new computer. (specs here) It plays fine and some of the animations go at super fast speeds like the mines. But that isn't really an issue, its exiting the game. When I exit it turns my whole desktop into pixels, that is the best way to call it. I can't see anything so I have to kill the power to my computer and reboot it. Bloody annoying if I can't play these games on my new machine.

this is the first time ive heard of k1 having problems

It must be a game engine/graphics issue since both games are using the same type of game engine.

that is possible, truly i see no physical problem whith your computer
