I recently pirated SW:KOTOR and I'm running a Windows Vista Home Edition laptop, this computer is MORE than capable to run this game.

I installed it fine and whatnot, mounted fine, installed fine.

I patched the game to v1.03 and I replaced the swkotor.exe with the one I downloaded, off gameworld or whatever that site is called.

I run the file under Windows XP Compatibility and I run it as an administrator, after it goes the screen goes black and just sits there and I have to close it and it doesn't get to an introduction or Bioware screen or anything..

Just wondering if anybody had any suggestions to fix it up for me, I'd REALLY appreciate it.
