Thats No Moon Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Awesome! So The drive arrived today and right off the bat the game works after the 1.0b update. Didn't have to replace anything and installed the program in compatibility mode Awesome job Microsoft for windows 7 (not so much for vista). Here's my specs for anyone who is still troubleshooting Lenovo x200 intel dual-core with integrated graphics Windows 7 What solved the problem: Using game disc instead of iso. Thanks again for keeping this forum updated with suggestions and fixes! Good luck to anyone still having issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-LOC- Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hi everyone, I have a bit of an issue with KOTOR not playing nice with Windows 7. I had KOTOR installed on the same machine in Vista. It ran it perfectly and at full screen too. But then I installed Windows 7. I eventually got around to installing KOTOR back onto the machine and tried to play it. It will not play KOTOR at full screen. Instead I get a small video box with black boarders all around it--even on 1028x768. It'll go in game and I can play no problem but it's really annoying especially since it played so beautifully in Vista. Is there anything I can do to fix this thing so I don't strain my eyes to play? BTW: I'm going to try it using XPM later to see if that helps any and I'll edit this accordingly.

Astrotoy7 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 I used the widescreen patch for this IIRC. >>this post belongs in the 'KOTOR in Vista/Win 7' thread - so read through that for some tested solutions. *merges with KOTOR thread* mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinohoops8 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Evil Q, did you change the site for the SecuRom fixes? Because not I don't know what to download or where to download it from? Can you help? Once I download it, I just need to put it in my folder and I'm good to go, but I need to download it first. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Oh, God; they took the links down. From their main page, click on "support for popular titles" and you'll find KotOR 1&2. Then download their diagnostic tool, jump through their stupid hoops and they'll give you a link to the files. SecuROM. What a bunch of damned control freaks.

rhinohoops8 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I downloaded the diagnostic tool, but do I have to run the setup and then install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhinohoops8 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Ok, so I install it and run the update thing, and it get's to step 2 (Download available online update), then a message pops up that says "The information was successfully collected and stored in the following file "C:\AnalysisLog.sr0" Please Contact Customer Support for forwarding instructions." Then I try to open the file, but it says 'Windows cannot open the file' Then I can search for a file off my computer or search for one online. I choose search online, and the internet can't find it. It says the file is unknown. This sucks!!!! I had it and I had to reset my computer and this happens!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Dude, calm down, contact customer support and send them that file. They will then send you a download link for the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinohoops8 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Alright, did that. They sent me an email that says it has an attachment, but I open it and there's no attachment. They also said they'd come to me asap, so i guess I just wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhinohoops8 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Oh believe me, I won't. I think I might just sock them in the face. Here's the exact email: Thank you for your e-mail.

rhinohoops8 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Alright, they gave me the download and I tried replacing it, but it won't 'replace' it. It will just stay there. I tried it and it still says 'KOTOR 2 has stopped working'. Do I NEED a new sound msl or whatever file? Or is that not necessary anymore. Here's the new link. Try it out and see if it works for you guys: http://download.securom.com/support/001665/swkotor2.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 It sure does, and thank you. As for the mss32.dll, I thought that Astro said that it wasn't necessary (I just recently installed Windows 7 and haven't tried to install either of the KotORs yet), but I don't think that it would hurt to try using the file that was updated for Vista.

rhinohoops8 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Strange... I can't seem to get mine to work now. Can you tell me what you did please? And your welcome for the site. I'm glad I could be of assistance since I've caused so much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 What do you mean that it "won't replace it"? Did you unzip the file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinohoops8 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It doesn't say "Something, something, windows found same file...Would you like to replace the file?" And how do you unzip it? If you just extract it, then I already tried that. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Try moving the original swkotor.exe to a safe place first (or renaming it) and then extract the fixed file to your game folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Read this page from post 205 on. When they give you the link, please post it here. I'm pretty sure that we can't host that file at a place like FileFront because of legal considerations, and SecuROM keeps changing the links.
