October 9, 200817 yr Never had any problems playing KotOR 2 using XP or Vista, but since i bought and installed a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer the game skips every second or so, resulting in a BSoD after a few minutes. This came as quite a shock to me, as I haven't experienced one of those since I set up Vista for the first time (about half a year ago). My sytem's otherwise stable. X-Fi and Alchemy have been auto-updated, nvidia display driver is v178.13.

October 10, 200817 yr Does it effect any other games that you have? I heard that Vista doesn't play well with Creative's X-FI drivers Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
October 10, 200817 yr I am running a X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion on my system (64bit Vista) with no problems. Kotor2 runs fine. Disclaimer: I haven't updated my drivers the last couple of weeks. I'll check the driver version when I get home from work later today. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

October 11, 200817 yr Author @Dark Raven: Nope, everything from new games (Crysis, CoD4, The Witcher) to old ones (VtM: Bloodlines, Oblivion, Doom 3) works perfectly fine. Except BioShock, but it's been f'ed XP, too. @Gorth: No new update for me, neither on their support page, nor through auto-updating. Guess your's is higher because of you using a X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty while I have to make do with an 'ordinary' X-Fi XtremeGamer. There are beta drivers available though, released on 9/26/2008, but as they are beta - and since my X-Fi has been the only source for a BSoD as of yet - I tend to refrain from using them.
