Ooo! Ooo! I know this one, or at least your hardware problem. I have not got to the sand people enclave yet.
The problem: KOTOR is an open GL game, and ATI's drivers for open GL have fallen behind the QA standard since Catalyst 4.2.
The solution: Install Catalyst 4.2 drivers to extract the 4.2 version of c:\windows\system32\atioglxx.dll file and place it in your SWKOTOR subdirectory. Reinstall Catalyst 4.9 (latest) ATI drivers to get the system back to current drivers so everything else does not have a problem.
When you run KOTOR, the program will grab and use the atioglxx.dll file from the execution subdirectory first resolving the crash problems.
I just did this 3 days ago and voila! no more crashes.
