    The only "fix" is to buy a better card... >.> If you can't run KOTOR without a hitch, your card is probably pretty old.

    Unfortunately your card is pretty old. Luckily for you, Graphics Cards prices have dropped a helluva lot in the past 6 months, try picking up something in the 5/6 Series of Geforce, maybe even a 7series but I think your CPU would bottle neck it.

    well if you have read befor, i dont have propper funds, all my funds are going to my company, and i am left with 0 money. so i dont want an easy solution, I want the quick and less effective one that doesnt cost me money.

    (i am saving money for among other things a computer, this one will be wiped and become part of a recording studio, now if i am not mistaken it would be quite stupid to buy a AGP video card, when the computer i will get will run with the PGI(or W/e) right? waste of money)

    The problem is, though, that there is hardly ever a software solution for hardware, especially the case in graphics cards.

    You can try finding drivers for your card, but you'll probably only see tiny improve, and by tiny, you'd have to pay a lot of attention.

    well, i have opengl on my graphics card, but my graphics card software doesnt run it, or run it well. Do you know where i can get a software that can help, ITs only a very tiny bit away from what i need, dont get me wrong, its at this point... Playble? if your very pacient, its not laggy, the textures are flickering, cause of the opengl problom.
