Hi,
I run KOTOR (Downloaded off Steam) on a quad-core machine running Vista. Yet although the game starts up very quickly and runs perfectly smoothly for about twenty minutes, after this the game begins to lag, first just a little and only when performing actions such as switching characters or opening menus, but eventually to the point where the lag gets so bad that moving around the game world is reduced to a slideshow. Usually after this, the screen will go black and I will be kicked back to the desktop, sometimes with an error message. The odd thing is, one of the times such a slowdown happened, I alt-tabbed out and in again (not an quick task, considering how sluggish it had become), I came back into the game to find it running very smoothly again, only for the lag to re-emerge ten or so minutes later, forcing me to reboot my PC.
What could the problem be? I'm runningas an Admin and in compatibility mode for XP.
Slowdown and crash

What are your system temperatures when it happens?

According to Speedfan:
Temp1: 48
Temp2 :45
Temp3: 52
Core: 48.
Though oddly enough, since posting this I've had the game running for almost two hours (a record, by at least an hour or so!) with no performance issues whatsoever. I left Dantooine for Tatooine about 20 minutes into these two hours, so it could have something to do with Dantooine and Taris maps causing the slowdown and crashes.
