Hi. I am trying to use KOTOR on a computer with windows vista. Whenever I try to run it it crashes. It turns on and then crashes instantly and says it will notify me if there is a solution! Any1 have an idea what might be wrong?

What graphics card do you have? I tried unsuccessfully to get it to run on Vista and found (after searching for solutions online) that apparently Kotor will not run on Vista if you have an ATI graphics card

How much RAM do you have.
Vista is a memory hog, it usually takes 1 gig of RAM to run vista successfully, 1.5 to 2 gigs to run Vista WITH modern video games. If you only have a gig, then it might be crashing as it's too much a strain on the game itself along with vista.

I remember coming across people who have problems running this game in Vista a while ago at both the KOTOR and KOTOR 2 sections. This is [url="http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/star-wars-knights-of-the-old-republic-ii-61/windows-vista-problems-92997.html"]the thread[/url] I saw while doing a search. It is from the KOTOR 2 section but I hope it helps.

I tried the things on the thread.They did not work. The scan says I have the wrong Open GL.
I finally got it working! I switched it to be compatible with xp and then i updated my drivers. Thanks for all the help.
