Star Wars: KOTOR II Will not run...

I have followed this guide PERFECTLY. It still crashes after the storyline, the thing that plays at the beginning oif everything star wars. I hear a lil bit of voices, then crash..Here is an image showing that i'm above the recommended requirements..Can anyone tell me what i have done wrong? I still cannot play it! I used to try a pirated copy, which didn't work because it needed the secu-ROM fix, well now i bought it, and it still won't work (Don't lock for piracy discussion, i'm using my purchased copy). I NEED to play this game!I figured this board was best because it's not emulation/flashcart help =/EDIT: My vid card supports OpenGL 2.0 also..

Maybe because of Windows 7.Install XP mode and see.

I tried it in VMWare, and it wouldn't even load the game T_T
VMWare graphics card drivers suck..is XP mode any better?

intel graphics cards do not support opengl.

That is not true :ohttp://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-030053.htm
That's for me chipset :o

they don't, and I'll tell you why.Graphics chips are designed to handle all the graphical operations and calculations necessary for 3d graphics output. This is why they are properly called called '3d accelerators'. Intel chips are not designed for this. They are designed to do a tiny little bit of work and offload the rest onto the main CPU. So while ATi/Nvidia/S3/etc produce hardware graphics adaptors where all the calculations are done in specially designed hardware, Intel produce hardware assisted graphics adaptors, where almost all of the calculations are done in software, tying up the main CPU, and they pass these off as hardware graphics adaptors, when in reality they have nowhere near the capabilities of even the most basic hardware graphics adaptors, and they come with an absolutely crippling overhead.So, while Intel may claim support for openGL and newer directX libraries, and indeed the chip could probably pass the tests, IF the main CPU isn't trying to do anything else at the same time, you can't play games requiring them because the so-called 'support' takes so much processing power from the CPU that there isnt enough left to run the game.

VMWare does not make drivers for graphics cards, they make drivers for the virtual machine, to let it think it's a real machine.But XP mode itself may be worth a try (I have seen it uses Windows' drivers, if I'm correct).

vmware does not have 3d support, neither does xp mode. The virtual hardware is a basic SVGA adaptor.

VMWare does have an option to accelerate 3D graphics though...could that make it run? :o

no because its still only very basic acceleration

awwww...
Well..i might as well ask... What exactly is hardware virtualization? Because my new computer will support it :p

it just helps programs like vmware run better.
