After reading through and experimenting with numerous things, this turned out to be the best.

First, log into steam, either in online or offline mode. Then access the community section. A box checked of for "In-Game Steam Community" or something similar to that. Make sure it's disabled. Afterward, the game should work perfectly. I've been able to jack up the the graphics all the way.

My laptop has Windows 7 and ATI, which seemed to be the problem children with KOTOR initially. This is also confirmed to work on some macs (see thread above) as well as systems with Nividia graphics card, and Windows '98, 2000, and Vista. Thanks to Dipnlik for the initial post.

If anyone has problems with the 59Hz problem, I can help with that too. Just post here or message me and I'll walk you through it myself, or direct you to some steps that can help you.

Still didn't solve my issues :(

Even after disabling the Steam overlay I can't click on stuff in-game.

Tried that for fixing my issue too but no luck. I start my game up and it shows the "Lucas Arts" screen thing at the start, then my game minimizes and I can't restore it, it's just stuck on my taskbar and I can't maximize it. Can't figure out how to fix it >_>. Any suggestions please? Thanks

Edit: Nvm just worked for some reason, dunno why. I clicked escape before the lucas arts message came up so it skipped it straight away.

Didn't solve mine either, although a combined effort to Disable Steam, Turn off Hardware Mouse, and Disable Intro Movies did solve my problem!

Check my post "Complete Guide..." on the KoToR forums for detailed instructions.
