Ok, so to pass the time and waiting for WAR, I decided to try KoToR. For some retarted reason, I have to set everything on the lowest settings, lowest res, and my video card sucks but it is double the system spec for video cards. The min is 32, and mine is 64mg. Yeah, my card sucks but please take a look and help me. Also, i passes everything else. I don't know what is wrong! Sorry, this is the only forum I know that is actually informative so please help! Edit: Also I have a
@#$%^&* 12 fps at 800x600 res. WTF!? 2nd Edit: So I read it and this is what it exactly says for the graphics card: GRAPHICS REQUIRED: 32 MB OPEN GL 1.4 COMPATIBLE PCI OR AGP 3D HARDWARE ACCELERATOR WITH HARDWARE TRANSFORM AND LIGHTING (T&L) CAPABILITY REQUIRED. 3rd edit: I got a green dot next to the OPen Gl so I passed that.... so WTF!?
The problem: LOOK DOWN!!!!

what is that game? link please...to requirements page

It could be that your card is old and dying, maybe time for a new one, a replacement of that standard should not cost you much at all, try eBay.
Kotor = knights of the old republic by bioware, a starwars singleplayer rpg.
... My card has the double req of the minimum.
http://swforums.bioware.com/viewtopic.html?forum=91&topic=272501
makes no diffrents, if the card is dying, then it's dying, if it's as old as I think it is, from what you have described, then it's time is up, very poor performance is a big hint,(especially with an older game like kotor)
Remember that I'm only guessing, I don't have your card here and I can't see it, I could be wrong,( most likely!)
Scroll down a bit, and actually read something. I have a Mobility Radeon x300 64mb. Can't replace because it's a laptop.
dude, i just want to know if you can help me with my problem. I know my card is fine, because I can play everything else perfectly.
It could very easily be a driver problem. With newer version of video card drivers that usually leave out old and dead tech (old games and such). If you want you can try and dig up old archived drivers for your ATI card to see if you get better performance but I can tell you from experience KoToR runs like crap on the new Nvidia cards too.

You wouldn't understand
Then why are you not contacting support for the game?
I just don't understand this. Whever I see someone who has problems with a game, they immediately go to some sort of forums and there is a back and forth as to what it could be.
Whenever I have a problem with a game I contact the company that made the game and get helped or information that is "right from the horse's mouth".
There could very well be a number of things that the support department might already be aware of.

Help! I have no clue how to update drivers or where to get it!
Go here: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
Put in the appropriate info to find your driver. They might also have a customer support center you can contact (see my message above).
Then download it. Uninstall your current video driver.
Start/My Computer, right click and go to properties.
Go to the Hardware tab
Click on Device Manager
Go to display adapters, right click on your video card, chose "uninstall". Then double click on the driver you downloaded to install. Restart computer.

Wait. so in order to get an old driver i have to discard an old one? Does't that make my card worse for other things?
what old driver?
You will downnload what would be the "current" driver for your machine.
Do this: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/mobility-xp
There is some sort of verifier you need to run to see if your card can take the new drivers.

Makes no difference dude. The system requirements for lowest is to play the game to get it to work somewhat. If you get 5 or 10 FPS they say that is the lowest system requirements. Your card is really bad, to old to handle any decent DX9+ games of today.
When you see lowest system requirements it always means that the game could be played at those requirements but not usually well, or barely for most.
Who let you in the VIP section?
Well I havent played KOTOR on the PC but I know it was kinda laggy for the xbox. It was really bad when In fights. I just think there engine wasn't optimized or something. So that also may be the problem.
Just my opinion... What you have posted makes me think you might be better off finding someone in person who can help you, like best buy or circut city, or a local computer shop. The reason I say this is your understanding of computers in not even basic, this is based off what you have posted so far.
I know you want help and this is a good place to get it but I have tried to help people like this before and it is difficult to do without being face to face.
Please don't misunderstand, this is not a flame, just a statement based on the facts you have posted.
Good luck
