As promised, I installed Knights of The Old Republic on Windows 7.  The game’s installation went fine and its icon appeared in the Games browser accessible from the Start menu.

Unfortunately, KOTOR will not run.  I ran it as administrator but this would not fix the problem.  It simply “stops responding” as soon as the screen resolution changes.  The game was patched via the launcher.

Before being too disappointed, please keep in mind that I am also running beta ATi drivers.  I can not be certain that this problem is specifically an issue with Windows 7 or if it is caused by the beta drivers – or a combination of these factors.

I do apologize for not getting around to testing the system with 2 GBs of RAM.  It’s a little frustrating for both of us, but hopefully I’ll have a report for that by tomorrow along with my experiences about the improved UAC.

Feel free to keep sending in your requests (either on here or at MMORPG.com) and I will see if I can accommodate them.

An aside, according to posts at MMORPG.com, Warhammer Online runs very well on Windows 7.

I’m also considering testing some of those F2P MMOs, but would that be worth our time?  Are they popular enough?  I honestly don’t know if readers would be interested in that, or if they are then which game(s) I should test.

See you soon!
