Topic: Vista Troubles

It would seem as though I am not alone in my vista woes.  I've downloaded and tried the kotor 1 .dll to no avail.  turning off the sound, turning down the visuals nothing seems to work... I cannot play Kotor 2 on my laptop.  It's a Gateway model MA7 with intel centrino duo 2 gig ram, 138 gig HD,  with mobile intel 945GM
chipset family(PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A2&SUBSYS_0366107B&REV_03
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A2&SUBSYS_0366107B
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A2&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27A2&CC_0300)
display adapter which is twice the required 128mb but is listed as (null) 256mb, which is probably my problem.  Any assistance would be appreciated

Re: Vista Troubles

It would not work for me either on Vista so I got the X-Box version to play it. I really don't know why vista will not let you play the KOTOR games but your computer may have the rams to play it.

Re: Vista Troubles

played the xbox version to death but I wanted it a little more mobility since I work out of town a week at a time.  Hotels are notoriously boring.

Re: Vista Troubles

I know what you are sayin about working from place to place but I don't think that vista is really made to play games but made to do work. I hope you find a way to play the game on your computer so good luck.

Re: Vista Troubles

It's because your intel centrino duo, it just won't run KotOR games without a fight.
Try google-ing up some patches, and if you can't find one well, that's that. Sorry. sad

I figured it was the duo but google-ing got me nowhere fast.  GRRRRR. I printed all the cheats and was ready to have a lightsaber on peragus!!!!!!!!!!   LOL. oh well, thanks anyway.

Re: Vista Troubles

Go to gateway's homepage and you may find a way to fix it through them.

Re: Vista Troubles

Well, no help there. It was worth the attempt though, so thanks.  I guess if your computer munafacturer can't help then the hardware isn't the problem.  Back to vista  :blink:  :angry:  smile  :wacko:  :wacko:  :wacko:

Re: Vista Troubles

I have an HP laptop, pretty good, but the graphics card isn't anywhere close to being able to run KOTOR II. So I have to stick with my older but upgraded HP desktop

Re: Vista Troubles

well my graphics are rated almost twice the minimum required for kotor II to run but no glory.

Re: Vista Troubles

Still, it isn't made to run on a duo. Intel users I guess will never get a break. Sorry, I fell some of your pain.  sad

Re: Vista Troubles

someone on one of the other threads said he plays it on vista ultimate. he didn't mention what chip it used though, so you could be right
