sc214 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 ok, heres the problem, I insert the cd into my dvd drive, the auto won't work. i then manually acses the drive folder and select "setup". it pulls up the picture of the ebon hawk, the little meter fully loads and the program closes. an error message appears, saying "problem on instalation. contact tech. support." I have tried moving the cd into my other drive, same problem. however, i sucsesfully loaded the game onto my laptop. no errors on insalation. but the reqirements are too high to run on my lappy. but still the disc is fine. i can also currently run KotOR II on my desktop perfectly fine. here are my specs -win. xp PRO sp2 -dell dimension 2350 -512 mb ram -180 gb hard drive (120 free) -raedon 9250 256mb ATI card by the way, all Games are Original Copies. bought from stores.

Reclaimer Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Make sure KOTOR was not installed on, then never removed. Check in your Add/Remove Programs list for anything KOTOR 1 related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SITHSLAYER133 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 ok if that dosnt work what you can do is edit your regristy files for Kotor but becarful cause if you delete the wrong thing you could make windows unable to load on next boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 ok if that dosnt work what you can do is edit your regristy files for Kotor but becarful cause if you delete the wrong thing you could make windows unable to load on next boot To do that, go to Start->Run->type "regedit". KotOR would be listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->BioWare. KotOR II would be listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->LucasArts. I doubt they're there though, this sounds like an InstallShield error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc214 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 ok i see it, but do i want to remove the entire bioware folder, or just the swkotor folder. update: ok i went ahead and deleted bioware. lets hope this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 If you have another BioWare game then only remove the swkotor entry. Otherwise you might as well delete the whole thing. Also, you'll need to be logged in as an administrator to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
