I just got a new computer and im trying to run KOTOR on it but the loading screen and menu are running at 800 x 600 with big black bars around the sides. Anyone know how to fix this issue on Windows 10?

What type of graphics card does this new computer have (nVidia, AMD, Intel)? This sounds like a resolution scaling issue at the driver/hardware level, not a problem with the game. How to solve it depends on the manufacturer (and, fair warning, I could only help if it's an nVidia card - it's been far too long since I've dealt with AMD or Intel, though there might be others that can drive by and put in their two cents if that's the case).

Hi, I have a Nvidia graphics card (GTX 1060). I found a solution using and app called flawless widescreen. Apparently modern PC's are unable to run KOTOR because it doesn't support 1920x1080 no matter what you try. Flawless Widescreen allowed me to play in Fullscreen though through the installation of special addons

If anyone is interested in how to play the game in fullscreen resolution, i can link the thread below :)
