First, I'm running this in Windows XP, so we shouldn't be looking at Vista related problems.

 

I am at the point in the game where i have completed the second run through Onderon, and am supposed to go to Dantooine for the Jedi council. Unfortunately, when I go there, when I exit the Ebon Hawk all I get is a black screen. No menus, no cutsceen, no crash, nothing. I can, however alt-tab out and use the task manager to shut it down. The game prompts me if I really want to quit without saving, and exits otherwise normally. I've gone back to earlier saves, and, as near as I can tell, this has been the start since I left Dantooine after completing it the first time.

 

My guess is some quest flag got set wrong, and the game doesn't know what to do, but that's just a guess at this point. Any ideas on how to fix this? The game lists as being 60+ hours, which means I've probably put 80-100 into it so far; I'd rather not do it all over again, just yet. Next year maybe, but not yet.

Are you using any mods? Also, can you use the 'esc' key at all to go to the main menu, or you can only alt-tab out?

The only mod I'm using is the High Quality Movies patch, though I think I may do a reinstall without it to see if that may be the problem.

 

I can't use the esc key to reach the menu. Only alt-tab.

I don't fancy the HQM patch having anything to do with it.

Has KotOR gone through all this hardware compatibility trouble as TSL?

Strange.
