PC KOTOR Game, I need advice on what I need to do to have the Game Play on my computer?
Without reading that long list completely, I noticed you never once mentioned the requirements the game needs to run. Try reading the box and be sure you have enough CPU speed and enough RAM. Your system clearly says FAIL in CPU speed and you are clearly WARNED about your RAM as it shows only 255 MB of RAM.


ADVICE: before buying another game, be sure your comp can run it. You only have an Intel CPU at 996 Megahertz.


Summary: get another comp or upgrade what you have, my recommendation is to get the fastest CPU, the most RAM you can get, the best video and sound card you can afford, the biggest Hard Drive, the best DVD burner, etc, etc.


Just think, you won't have to write these questions as they wwill magically disappear with good equipment. Don't expect a beat up old machine to run like a racing car ;-).
Reply:Did anyone actually read his results? He is running onboard Intel 915 graphics. The graphics requirements are not being met. Memory is also too low. He has 256k, needs 512.





You actually need to step into a more game oriented computer.


Check www.hardocp.com or www. anandtech.com for info.
Reply:update your version of the game, then get a new video driver (not a new card, but a program for it [i suggest nvida]), second you need to upgrade your CPU, this can be done by going to just about any computer dealers, they will most likely have a new or used CPU chip you can use. third, turn all the graphics down low, until it can function well. defragment you computer, always do this after intalling any new piece of information on you computer.

I don't think your PC meets the minimum requirements
