OK, if this doesn't work I'm giving up...
Basically, when I start KOTOR II on my laptop, it boots up fine and then when I make a new character, the opening cinematic runs and then the game crashes straight after it. After trawling various forums for the best part of a week, I think it might be due to KOTOR II 'forcing hardware T&L'. Hardware T&L apparently works on my graphics chip (Intel HD Graphics); according to Intel, but doesn't always respond well when it is forced -.-. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas/possible fixes or if i'll have to buy a new computer if I ever want to run it :S. By the way, just for the record, KOTOR I ran fine.
