KOTOR crash reboots my PC

happysister02 · 03-04-2012, 11:56 AM

i see a lot of people with "crash to desktop" problems, but i didn't see a thread with my particular problem.

i just recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 on my PC, and when i go to run KOTOR, after the two logo movies play at the very beginning, the game crashes, i get a blue screen, then my PC reboots. i tried reinstalling the game, but i get the same results.

this is the system i'm running:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Intel Core 2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz
4GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 v2

any ideas on how to make it work properly? >_<

Might be this:

"First, figure out where the .ini is installed. Default is "C:\Program Files\Lucasarts\swkotor(2)\swkotor(2).ini". If its not in that location, then your going to have to do some searching around on the hard drive a bit.
When you find it, just double-click on the file to open it in Notepad.
Scroll down the file until you find the Graphics Options
Under the last line ("last line" as in the last line of the list of entries under "Graphics Options", NOT the last line of "swkotor(2).ini), add "Disable Vertex Buffer Objects=1", without the quotes.
Goto File, then Save."
