Having an odd problem with Star Wars KOTOR.

[Nomad25055]

First off, I'd like to quote the netiquette-section on the usage of paragraphs, but seeing as that section is absent in this new version of the forum, you're off the hook. (But seriously, paragraphs would make your post easier to read.)

Lol yeah I tend to make one big paragraph while posting. It's something of a habit of mine but it shouldn't be too hard to rectify. As for drivers, I have all the newest drivers for my board (I use onboard audio) and I have the Catalyst 4.9 drivers for my card. Although I have been considering switching to the newest DNA drivers. In case you didn't know the DNA drivers are modified Catalyst drivers, and yes I have DX9.0c. I make a point of keeping current on DX and video card drivers. As far as running the game I have no problems running it with everything set to maximum except for my odd crashing, which occurs no matter what.

No I have not tried reinstalling the game, although as you have suggested this may help. Is this game like D2 in the sense that saved information does not get deleted? In Diablo 2 I recall that character files were not deleted when you reinstall. Or would I have to make a backup of these files? Could these files still cause this problem to occur?

As for the sand people enclave, I have not tried to ask about Mission's brother. I recall reading something about you have to keep up to date with Mission (talking to her about her brother) and you have to meet Lena before the option to talk to people about Griff becomes available. I have not met Lena and Mission simply will not allow me to talk to her about her brother anymore. How might I go about finding Lena? I have fully completed everything up to this point (Taris, Dantooine, Korriban) and have not seen Lena anywhere. I'm pretty clueless at this point. The only option I have is to head to Manaan (Spelling?) and continue with my main mission (at least this is the only option I believe i have). I appreciate you helping me with my problem.
