Has anyone gotten this to work? I just upgraded to Win 7 and am reinstalling. I know ATI is not providing much support for the X1600 series of cards, and I really don't want to have to create a separate Win XP install just to run two games. So any help? I did copy my saves and override folder over, should I not have?

I don't know the answer, but have you tried running it is some compatibility mode? Have you got the latest graphics drivers, etc?

I'm going to be getting Windows 7 some time soon, so I guess this may become a problem for me too. So I hope there is a work around.

XP Compatibility mode only exists for Win 7 Pro and higher. If I'd known that when I pre-ordered, I would have paid the extra $40. And I have the best drivers that are supported for my card.

Hello. I have recently bought a new PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I have no trouble running KOTOR and KOTOR II. Ulike the Vista if I might add. Just instal them, and there won't be any problem at all.

I did install KOTOR 1, it refuses to run. I keep getting an error and the game crashes out.
