KOTOR Vista Installation Problems

[Lord of Rapture]

I'm trying to run Knights of the Old Republic that I just installed on my Vista, yet whenever I try to start the game, it crashes. When I try to find out what's wrong, it says that my computer has the wrong OS. I set it to XP, and even 2000, and yet nothing works. Can anybody help me?

Tryed to run it in Administrator mode? Sometimes this helps with old games.

I am Administrator. :smallfrown:

Troubleshoot it and run it in compatibility mode is what he meant I believe. Also, even as administrator, things don't run automatically in administrator mode :P

[Lord of Rapture]

That's what I did. And yes, I ran it in Administrator mode. And it still doesn't work.

Its Vista. That's the problem.

Ive just upgraded to 7 and all the things that gave me trouble on vista don't anymore, haven't tried KoToR as i currently don't have it atm but lots of my older games that didn't work on vista now do

I forget how I got it work "work" on my computer, but the computer then proceeded to overheat and give me BSODs all the time. So I stopped playing KotoR. :(

I was able to run KOTOR out of the box on my vista pc. However, I was not able to run the patched version. After an uninstall and then a reinstall, the basic version worked.
