Hello all,

I didn't think this belonged anywhere else so where else but the Lounge?

I have attempted to install Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic on my Windows 7 Ultimate machine. Installation is fine and all hardware requirements are met.

However, attempting to play the game results in an error dialog in relation to the requirements not being met. I open it and all the requirements in the list are met except for the OS. It says I'm running Windows 9 (yeah right).

So, I attempt to run the game again and now it's displaying this error dialog:

Conflict with Disc Emulator Software detected. See Home - Sony DADC SecuROM

Then, when clicking OK, the game ends. No gameplay whatsoever.

My friend who has a Windows 7 laptop (not sure what version of Windows 7) runs it fine and has been playing it.

This is an older game so I think that may have something to do with it.

Any help would be really, really appreciated.

Thanks.

Mod note: Moved to software support forum.

Try running it in compatibility mode with XP. Right-click on it, properties, and then in one of the tabs there should be a "run in compatibility mode" thingy.

I've tried doing that but that stupid emulator message keeps being displayed (so I don't actually know if it worked).

I'm not running any virtual disc drives or anything (never have).

What disk software do you have?

[hetra]

What do you mean? The software on the disc?

[dargueta]

No, like do you have Nero, Roxio CD-burning stuff, or anything like that?

[hetra]

No, I'm not running Nero or any other software like that.

[dargueta]

Weird. I'm not sure what to tell you then.

There may be forums dedicated to compatibility of those games, I would certainly look online if there are any methods already found by some users.

Other than that, I would recommend keeping everything up to date (including Direct X if that happens to use that) and download any official patches the game's manufacturer has created.

I've updated the game via the update feature included with the game.

What I found weird was it said I was running Windows 9. Also, My friend is running a lesser version of Windows 7 then me yet can still do it.

Do you think it's the zoning on the drive? (I got it from Sydney though, so it shouldn't be that).

[Alexander]

Maybe so, I would consider you rip the ISO and run it under some secure ROM emulation software (i.e. DaemonTools) if this is legal where you live. Disk protection software tends to fail on future devices that it was not tested or designed for.

At a guess, you somehow got SecuROM blocked from installing, which will stop the game from running at all. Higher security could be incompatible with the highly invasive copy protection schemes.
