Darth Xander Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 There was never any problem I couldn't repair until I got Vista so I think that may be it. ~Xander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robespierre Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Can you tell us the specifics of the error? Rather than just saying "it doesn't work". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatthehell Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 if someone could make a K1 vista compatibly fix, they would be forever hailed as a god/goddess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Fett Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Weird, K1 usually works woth Vista.. Try uninstalling, then manually running the installer off the CD in XP compatibility mode and run as administrator. Also, when you play the game, play it with those same settings. Thats how I got TSL to work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanatos9t Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I run K1 on a Vista laptop and use it to test my character/armor mods. Has it's graphics drivers been updated and do you have all of the recent updates fom Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Fett Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Did you try the install method I suggested above? What version of Vista are you using? (to find out, right click Computer and choose properties) At what point does it crash? This thread would do better in the Workbench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Xander Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 As soon as I click Game on the launcher. And this is Windows Vista Ultimate. ~Xander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harIII Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I have used K1 and 2 on Vista and I had strange problems when I got to Dantooine. The 2 companions I had with me in the Jedi Academy Courtyard somehow wound up on a cliff (outside of the module boundaries) and I could get out of it. If you use Vista I highly recommend that you use Vista Ultimate or Extreme. There are enough patches to run almost every program for XP. Also if you do try to go back to XP trust me, take it to a shop. It has something to do with files that are required for an XP installation that need to be on the hard drive and all new Vista computers don't have these files. You have to some how put them on by a floppy disk and the total number of files exceeds the size of the floppy. I hope this helps. That's what I did.

SevaC Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I have WinVista Ultimate and K1/K2 (and mods) work for me. The only thing I have to do is set them to run on a single core and run in realtime in the task manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthHK Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 When I try to start KOTOR this comes up. ~Xander Don't you just love how specific Vista is? At any rate, try running it in compatibility mode and as admin if you can (if your dad won't let you hope compatibility will be enough) and patch the game to 1.3, the same settings on the patcher. Why do I say this? I have the Best of PC version which works perfectly fine and it's just 1.3 on a DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glovemaster Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 There could be many reasons that an error like that would appear. First of all check your graphics card, KotOR supports Nvidia and ATI graphics card and some Intel boards have worked, if you arn't running on any of those then that is a posibility. Make sure that you are running KotOR in Windows XP compatibility mode. Go to the SWKotOR root directory and right click swkotor.exe > Compatibility. I suggest you show us what the config scan shows for your computers hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harIII Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Install Vista Extreme. Beleive me it works, that's what I use. K1 and K2 work. The only thing is that there is only one that it might crash and thats in the boot up of K1 at least. All you have to do is keep booting up K1 and within 3 to 5 tries, you'll get into the game. With Vista Extreme, there are enough patches to use/play many of your older programs. I also suggest that you download it off the internet, I have a full downloaded version of it but I'm sorry I don't know if I can tell you because of fear for advertising freeware. I hope this helps.

MajinMikeyX Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 How about the KotOR 1 from the Star Wars: Best of PC? Is that version supposed to be compatible with XP and Vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Man_2423 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 How about the KotOR 1 from the Star Wars: Best of PC? Is that version supposed to be compatible with XP and Vista? Well, that's the one I have, and it works for my XP. It doesn't specifically list Vista on the back of the box, though, only XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
