if you're using the actual KOTOR xbox game disc and its not working maybe you just don't have the backward compatible update for that game yet.

Once you buy something off xbox live it is yours, and tied to your account forever. You can download the game as many times as you like.

The download may have somehow messed up, there are all sorts of possibilities as to how that could have happened. You should try to redownload it tonight. Then if it still doesn't work call MS tomorrow.

To be honest, with both kotor and this new game not working. It may be a issue with the profile your signed into. I have seen games not work unless they are signed into live on their main profile on other peoples systems. I am assuming you are trying to play the game while signed into the profile you downloaded it on.... but just incase you might want to double check that, or sign into a different profile / gamertag and try kotor on that one.

i only have 1 profile. and usally you would think xbox orignals would work since you download them right off xbox live. ill call microsoft tommrow and see what the problem it. i just tried GTA san andreas and that wont work either. im guessing none of my xbox games are compatible with my 360

It's probably just a corrupt download. Go delete it off your HDD and redownload it. I've had that happen to me a couple times with BC games.
