If someone could give me some help regarding this, I would really really appreciate it. Around 3 months ago, I got a new PC, upgrading from my laptop, a HP Pavilion dv5-1010us:
Windows 7 64bit
4gb RAM
Intel Core Duo @ 2.00 gHz
nVidia 9200M GPU
Prior to this upgrade, I had been playing a game of KotOR2, but after the upgrade, which was rather sizeable, I immediately jumped on the new games that I had been missing out on that a lot of my friends were playing(Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2, etc...) Eventually, however, I felt the call of KotOR, and I wanted to reinstall and play those games again. I no longer have my old laptop, as it was more or less broken(the screen stopped working).
However, KotOR or KotOR 2 will not launch. This is what happens when I try to launch: I get the Ebon Hawk loading screen in the center, then it stays there, stays there, and disappears, and the game closes. I cannot even get to the LucasArts intro movies, or even the main menu.
My current system is this:
Windows 7 64-bit
12gb RAM
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T @ 3.2gHz
ATI HD Radeon 5870
This is what I have done to try to get the game to work:
1) I've run swkotor.exe and the launcher in XP service pack 2 compatibility mode
2) I've installed KotOR by launching setup.exe as an admin and in compatibility mode
3) I tried to update Direct X, but was told I did not need to by the updater
4) My video card drivers are not up to date, but are outddated only by 6 months or so(the latest driver causes other programs to run with black bars on the sides of the screen)
5) I've replaced Mss32.dll with the fixed version
6) I've launched Kotor without sound
7) I've launched kotor without movies - I also tried to delete the startup movies as well
8) I thought that it could be my hex core processor messing it up, so I used Imagecfg.exe to set affinity on the system to 1 core.
9) Apparently there was a securom glitch, and that was causing problems on startup. I got a cracked NoCD .exe after reading this forum post(No, I am not a pirate, I did this at the suggestion of that moderator): http://swforums.biow...345531&forum=80
NONE of these worked for me. I'm exhausted and depressed that every single time I tried something new, it got my hopes up, only for it to come crashing down when I got this Ebon Hawk picture in the middle of my desktop only for it to disappear after lingering for 30 seconds or so.
I would really appreciate help - I'm honestly sick and tired of this.
Best,
stemper.
