    Installed KOTOR II last night, it ran after the install, played it for a couple of hours. Saved the game, shut the computer down for the night. Fired it up this morning and tried to start the game and keep getting "app crash" error.

    Why is it only Vista 64 that seems to have this problem and how do I fix it short of removing 64 and going back to 32??

    Tried running as administrator as well as in compatibility mode with no success in either case.

    No luck. I'll try a re-install this evening, and if it crashes after that I'll give the game to someone with XP.

    Slim, didn't you have a problem with running another older game? I wonder why this is so. The only thing that I couldn't run on my Vista 64 was Mortal Kombat Trilogy, but that game is 10 years old, and I believe that it was made to run on specifically 3dfx video cards.
