KOTOR 2 VISTA FIX(worked for me)

***sakey*** · May 23rd, 2007

Hello, Nobody would ever have seen me on the kotor forums, but i was looking around and i saw there is both MS32.dll file in kotor1 and kotor 2, and that is the problem, all you have to do is backup your original MS32.dll for kotor 2, and copy the one from kotor 1 in to your kotor 2 directory, then just in case ur computer has it on a different format go to the shortcut and go to properties and look at compatabilty...make sure its on Windows XP service pack 3(trust me pick this one)...and it should work, if it doesnt than sorry for getting your hopes up, and also sorry if you have already fixed the problem...

Would you by any chance be able to explain to me why that works, and if you've managed to play the game all the way through again without problems?

I only ask since I am guessing that Obsidian modified that file for some reason.

i have absoulutly no idea why it works but it does, its goes all the way through, but ocassionaly its exits its self if you alt+tab out...yer i have been through once and i am on my second

Nothing else mucks up if you switch it to Windows XP Service Pack 3 does it?

Oh and the file in my KOTOR2 directory is Mss32.dll. Is that the same one?

Hmm...I wonder if this would also work with other games like Jedi Academy and SWBF2?

Only one way to find out. I'll give Jedi Academy a whirl

hi. i got the mss32.dll and put it in my KOTOR 2 folder (making backups of course) and i got some working. what i mean is i can start up the game to the main title screen (new game, load game, options etc) but when i make a new character and after the screen that says "A long time ago in a galaxy...."
It says "KOTOR II has stopped working" you know the errror. PLEASE HELP!!
