I tried to get Knights of the Old Republic, The Sith Lords to run on my Vista system with no luck last night. Anyone got any ideas?

EDIT: I tried the Compatability mode with no love already so that doesn't seem to work, i thought thta was supposed to work with evertyhing lol.

What actually happens when you try to run it?

Have you tried running it as an elevated user (as an admin)?

"Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords has stopped working.

A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will colse the program and notify you if a solution is available."

That pops up when I try to play. LOL every other "feature" on the menu bar works except play game. I can configure it, update it, register it, hear the opening music but I can't play it. I found a "fix" which requires placing a line of code (.dll) somewhere in the file but I don't know how to do that or even if it works.

This may just be one of those games that won't run with Vista.

EDIT: Oh and yes, I tried running as admin. i also tried several different of the compatibility modes.

Have you got a link to this fix?

Yep, I meant to include it in the last post but got distracted by my daughter, lol. Here:

I've downloaded the file, I just don't know where to put it or how to put it there..........,.

It should just be a matter of dragging and dropping it into the games program folder.

Gotta be worth a try.

**Bubba** · #7 28th Aug 2008, 13:46

Didn't work, I just tried it. and yes, it was worth a try. Any other suggestions?

Dang, I just saw I only have 13 Gigs of space left on my hard drive. Time to get another raptor and then bug you fellows about RAID. Good thing there is already a tutorial on that here.............

If all you want is more space, then RAID probably isn't the way to go. That will just give you redundency or more speed.

I don't know much about games so hopefully someone else will step in.

Well thanks anyway. Probably a sign from above to start studying my A+ book and not play games lol.
