I have been playing Kotor for a while now....and the movies do not load, no matter what I do, when ever a movie would load, the whole program would freeze up. I have to turn them off...it is a real problem...but I feel that I am missing out because I want to see them!! I can't think of anything I'm doing wrong...I can run Doom 3 on my computer...so I assume that it's not my computer, I just have settings wrong somewhere. Has anyone else had a problem with this?
Probably a video card driver problem...what is your video card and what drivers do you have installed?
And knowing your other system specs also helps: CPU, ram, OS
After I do a hardware scan, and save the report, here is what comes up...

Looks ok. I don"t know much about nVidia drivers, did you updated them?
Did you also tried to disable movies to see what happens?
Maybe you could try to lower your graphic settings.
Try this and keep me posted.
*edit* Install patch 1.03: it is not installed on your system as I can see.
Hmm odd, I restarted the computer and tried it....as I have done MANY times...but oddly enough, it worked this time...hmm grr thats mighty agravating...but oh well. Thanks for your guys help!!!
Did you install ptach 1.03?
Ya, but, after the movies worked..
