[What Is This?]

Okay, something really weird just happened to me. I was playing around with the lightsabers on the bench, when suddenly I found a crystal that I could swear wasn't in my inventory before. Two of them, in fact, both called 'Melles Crystals'. They did different things, however. One gave a +1 to damage and attack, and the other a +4 to each. But the strangest thing was the description:

 

"A crystal that will help you clean up in kotor... with the lightsaber."

 

Where did these crystals come from? I tried doing a Google search, and ... nothing.

[Cannot Run on Windows 8.1]

Hello, I'm having trouble launching the game. I insert the disk, and the launcher runs fine. I click 'Game', and up pops a picture of the Ebon Hawk, then I get this error message: http://i.imgur.com/GNAiPC4.png

 

Please help, I really want to play this game without having to pay for a Steam copy. Note: I have am nVidia graphics card, and am running it in compatibility mode (Windows XP SP 2) on Windows 8. I did install the latest patch, IC disabled movies, and I did try unchecking all CPUs except CPU 0 in the Task Manager. Also, someone suggested I add this line to the .ini file, which I did: "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1"

 

EDIT: Note that I'm running from the original CDs, not the Steam version.
