binkw32.dll Error, need help

Recommended Posts

I'm playing KotOR 1 and it ran excellently till about 3 days ago, when if I start the game with movies enabled and go through all the movies, the game crashes with a problem in binkw32.dll. I'll try to get the error details, but the game crashes back to desktop after like, 5-7 seconds of the error. The game becomes okay if I disable movies, but the game crashes back to desktop randomly, with an error in swkotor.exe. Two examples:

1. I was at the rancor place and I put the grenade and the odor in the corpse pile and the screen went black for the cutscene. When I quit the "Give/Get" box, the game crashed.

2. I was giving Carth an ion blaster and the game decided to crash to desktop.

The game also crashes more frequently in loading screens.

 

I have the latest patch, and I tried to get another copy of the dll file, but it was incompatible. I tried copying binkw32.dll from other games such as SWAT 4 and Republic Commando, but the older error persists. Also, SWAT 4, Deus Ex: Invisible War etc. run their bink files very well, only a little jerkily and some sound blanks, but no crashes.

The game was running perfectly before the incident, so I don't think it's any hardware problem, but still:

 

Windows XP Home Edition w/ Service Pack 2

Pentium 3 1.0 Ghz

nVidia GeForce FX 5200 w/ 128 MB VRAM (with latest drivers)

Intel 815 chipset motherboard

512 MB RAM

Samsung 40X CD-ReWriter (Why am I giving this?)

 

EDIT: Tried reinstall, but fruitless. It doesn't work even at 800X600@60Hz! Need some serious help now.
