KOTOR keeps crashing

[unholyjester]

I got this new pc at christmas and installed KOTOR yesterday. The game starts fine, even when I'm using Windows Vista [and a lot of ppl seems to have trouble with KOTOR and this OS], but it crashes and Windows says that it needs to be closed. It randomly crashes, and I have already tried to disable the sounds and to force the software.

 

Could you helpe me, please?

I take it you have your computer set to dual-boot XP and Vista? Regarding the crashes, have you tried running the game with all the graphics options disabled? Do the crashes occur with any pattern, i.e., right after a combat round ends, or right when you enter a new room? Do you have any mods installed? When you installed it with Vista, did you install it with Administrator privileges?

Is this a laptop? Also, your video card drivers aren't showing up properly. What version do you have installed?

[unholyjester]

Yeah, I guess that I already solve the problem, but thanks.

 

Now something weird happened.

 

I just saved the Wookie, but all the dialogues were really fast and the characters didn't talked. What could it be? It wasn't being like this since now.

 

[sorry for my bad english]

[Star Admiral]

Restart the game. Sometimes after playing the game for a while, an interesting dialog bug will crop up, causing the dialog to cycle through really fast.
