Actually, I received an email back from my video card company (who also puts out the sound card, in this case). They have a specific entry just for KOTOR, stating that there is a problem with it, and they are working on a new driver that will fix the problem. Thus, it is something with my computer (damn eMachines...
). Thank you for your responses on that.
I didn't know about the right click/left click combo to move. I'll have to try that out. I'll also search around here for some posts on character building, but I'll probably stick with the soldier/guardian light side build for the time being. If I don't like it, I'll just change characters, like I did so many times in BG1 and BG2.

I hate this movement!!! It it awful. My guy just keeps standing in place or turning in circles. Why can't I push W and have the guy walk in the direction he is facing? Why do I have to keep fussing with camera angles, just to have my guy stand there regardless of which direction I turn? Even better, why won't they let me just left-click where I want to go, and my guy goes there (NwN did that, and this looks to be using a similar engine)? I spent the past half hour just trying to get into one room of the cantina, switching between characters to try to "unjam" my guys (and reloaded twice, because both characters got "stuck"). I finally shut the damned thing off in frustration. Is there an easier way to move your guy around? I even get stuck trying to talk to people (I try to talk to a specific person, and it "reassigns" my talk attempt on its own to someone else who I just spoke to). The more stuff around in the location, the worse it is. Sorry, I just had to throw that out, as I am just about to shelve this thing if I can't figure out how to just move around.
