Game freezing

[MangoFett]

Okay, I've noticed this in 3 distinct places: one the Ebon Hawk after leaving Telos, during the assault on the Czerka site on the surface of Telos and during my initial conversation with the Handmaiden on the Ebon Hawk.
During the other times it has happened I just switch to a new character in my party and the issue goes away. But during/after my initial talk with the Handmaiden in the cargo hold of the Eban Hawk, just after our 'learning battle' I'm stuck. I can talk with her, equip/unequip, whatever, but my character is 'stuck'. He can't walk away from her. Is it just that I'm not done talking to her about being a Handmaiden and all of that or is it a glitch in the game? Although it's just been annoying before, now the game won't move on and I'm stuck where I am.
Any ideas what to do?
Let me know.
Thanks Mango

Hi, welcome to the forum

Are you running it on XP? I didn't have any such problems with XP, but VISTA is another story

[MangoFett]

Yes, it is Windows XP.
Also, the title of the post says that the game is freezing, and that's incorrect. Actually, it's just that the character is 'stuck' and can't move away.
Thanks,
Mango

I found that using ctl alt del and opening the task mgr, then reopening the game sometimes gets past the glitch. Are there any other programs running in the background? Also, antivirus can get in the way.

Do you find you 'spin on the spot' when you try to move? If so I used to have this. It went away when I changed my graphics card.

I've gathered from what's been said here that it most often happens when people use a Radion G-force graphics card.

Saving, then Quitting KOTOR2 completely (this step IS necessary) then restarting the game and reloading can help if it's the bug I used to get.

That's absolutely correct. The game does NOT like Ge-Force video cards. The only solution (short of getting a new video card) that I've found is to save the game, quit out of the game completely, restart the game and load the saved game.

Edit:

Sorry, one thing that DOES help - if you're by yourself this won't work, but if you have others in your party, you can "unfreeze" your character by tabbing back and forth between them. Sometimes when I hit a spot where I know I'm going to "freeze" (like the command deck of the Harbinger on Peragus), I leave my other two characters where I want to go next, and just use "solo mode" to go do the whatever-it-is, then tab back to one of your NPCs and turn off solo mode.
