i got star wars knights of the old republic 2 for pc and installed it everyhing went fine. i also downloaded the latest patch and installed it.

i start the game up and the intro movies play fine but once i get to the main menu the screen goes black and there is only the sound and the mouse cursor

reinstalling the game doesnt work
i have ALL the possible updated drivers (feel free to help if u find some new ones)

so on my video card i have two vga port and the option in my display properties to expand the desktop to multiply monitor.i enabled that option but i have to switch vga ports to see the desktop
i start the game in this mode and it works perfectly except when i move to mouse too far to the end of the screen the game minimizes which is very annoying

i just want to play both of these games properly on my system



i have the same exact problem with neverwinter night diamond!
i hope i didnt wast money on these great games

here is my dxdiag file\
