Technical help in a game

[Tassado]

I recently bought Star wars Knights of the Old Republic. It told me I failed to meet one of the requirements. So I tried it anyway and it worked, but after one stage it starts to crash on me. So I tried to get that requirement. It's something called a openGL 1.4 driver, I have 1.3. I've gotten numerous kinds of files that have the drivers for it, but I don't know how to install it. If anybody can help I'd be really grateful. I use a windows xp btw.

I use a windows xp which is pc. I have all of the requirements except the opengl 1.4. The driver for it is what I need to replace.

Basically I want to know how to uninstall the opengl driver. I haven't found it in my computer.

I'm pretty sure that OpenGL comes with your video card drivers. Try updating those. Or try playing the game in DirectX mode.

I have opengl, it's just that i have 1.3 instead of 1.4. I'm trying to uninstall it and reinstalling the 1.4 driver.
How do you play in directx mode?

[WeekendLazyness]

I'm not sure, but since a requirement is DirectX9, I assume you can do it. Try going into Options>Video and see if you can change it there.

[Tassado]

Seriously, does anybody know how to uninstall the openGL driver?

[WeekendLazyness]

You typically don't have to uninstall it if it's an upgrade, especailly since OpenGL drivers come with videocard drivers.

Have you even tried any of my suggestions?

[Tassado]

You mean fiddlin' with the video options? Yes, I've looked at every option. I haven't found anything. I think I'll just upgrade like you said and see the results.
Somone told me though, that if I want to upgrade the driver I need to uninstall the old one first. I'm not sure. Thanks anyway.

No, what WL is trying to tell is for ya to update/get a newer version of DirectX n' install it. Since many games nowadays don't come with it or the version that comes is outdated (which both have happened to me before), I seriously think that you should try n' update it just to see if a more recent version of DirectX will suffice to quell your problems. ;)

[WeekendLazyness]

I'm just saying if that DirectX is a requirement, you should probably be able to play using it.

Also, no, you do not need to uninstall the old driver before the new one.

I already have directx 9.0, which the newest one right? It's exactly the requirement for star wars KOTOR. So I tried uninstalling the driver and installing the new one. It actually worked and I upgraded, but it's still not enough. The game still crashes. Thanks for your help WL. I won't try to upgrade to a new graphics card though. I bought KOTOR for 20 bucks and its not worth it to upgrade with to 100 dollar card.
