Cheat code problems

[Darth Raider]

Ok, I just got KOTOR, and I love it. After going through it a couple times, I found the cheat "glitches" online, that I'm sure most here already know about.

Whenever I do the Attribute points cheat (no matter when and where), my game freezes right after Master Dorak gives me my lightsaber crystal. I've tried picking different crystals, giving different responses, having different party members, etc., but it always freezes right at that point. Does this happen to anyone else? PLEASE, any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
