Unless you had this file already, I don't know. Anyway, posted this so anyone can go over this issue.

Re: How to play Jedi Academy on Windows 10
Some people won't have this issue cause it's already installed with their game, my JKA has this file already.

Re: How to play Jedi Academy on Windows 10
Update: Seems like this issue occurs only when the update doesn't come from Windows Update. Be careful with mails either way, lots of mails seem to be only fake.
Re: How to play Jedi Academy on Windows 10
My friend is trying to join the community but can't get past issues running it on ten he tried the suggested above but it just crashes the game every time.
Also, when he can get it working his mouse seems to have a mind of it's own. Any thoughts that can help?

One of us had that issue, he had to downgrade to Windows 8.1/8/7.Dev Kai wrote: Also, when he can get it working his mouse seems to have a mind of it's own. Any thoughts that can help?
Re: How to play Jedi Academy on Windows 10
I think Windows 10 is still missing a lot of the proper hardware drivers needed for many PC graphics cards and mice/peripherals, hence why sometimes you need DirectGL, and to mess with different experimental drivers, etc. to get things working.
I honestly don't understand why so many people are so eager to switch to Windows 10. My heartfelt recommendation is to be patient and wait, and, if you really want to, only switch after the new OS has been out for at least 2 years if you want a stable gaming machine.
Current Windows 10 users will need to find workarounds. You need to find drivers and solutions to help the new Windows understand your hardware, and the solutions are quite unique to the make of your computer -- namely what hardware it has.
Windows 7 is still best for work and gaming, closely followed by 8.1. So if you're on either of these, for the love of gaming, don't switch.

Re: How to play Jedi Academy on Windows 10
Thank you all for your responses. We found little to no resources regarding the mouse stray problem we did however figure it out to the point where it brings little problems for game play and got the game working. I did a session with him last night and got him some training with things like cfg's and binds.
Thanks again!

Re: How to play Jedi Academy on Windows 10
Glad to hear you managed to get it working at least partially.
Regarding the mouse running away problem, sometimes giving the game a different screen resolution helps. I know I've encountered a problem like that with some older games earlier on Windows. Otherwise, try to tell Windows to use a different driver for the mouse, or use a more advanced third party mouse config utility that allows you to tweak mouse behaviour on the run. Does it only happen in JKA?

Re: How to play Jedi Academy on Windows 10
If I'd be honest, I suggest all of you to not install Windows 10. If you did and now are having issues, restore to your previous version by Control Panel.

Re: How to play Jedi Academy on Windows 10
I installed it when it first came out, I have had absolutely zero problems with compatibility or anything for that matter. JKA ran first time at boot up and I still haven't had any issues with it.
