Stan Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I just run emergency 4 on high priority in vista, with full access to all files in /sixteen tons entertainment/ for all users on the computer. And the config.cfg on read only.The game is very stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 That's what I had to do to an editor for a game called "Industry Giant 2 Gold Edition", Since I mod more than just the maps I had to take it a step further and yank the read-only on it :1046275873_shakehead: because the editor was too stupid to do everything it's self. I am quite happy with Vista now that I've got it back to Factory Defaults and Re-set all the settings myself. The storebought cfg was what gave me all my headaches.I just run emergency 4 on high priority in vista, with full access to all files in /sixteen tons entertainment/ for all users on the computer.

martijntjuh Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 these are the problems i have with vista:(video drivers up to date)any ideas to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 That must have something to do with your videocard or drivers, not Vista.What are your computer specs?You might want to try this:Remove/Uninstall all (older) videodrivers, restart pc, install newest driver.I had videoproblems while having 3 different Nvidia drivers installed in different locations on my old pc last year.Emergency 4 might be the problem too. You have the same problem with/without other mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Panicxz Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sorry, couldn't resisit I'm not using VISTA, because i dont think my computer is good enough... but my friend has vista and im very impressed by what i saw, but is it not as good as people say?Actually, Vista is really good. If you put yourself on the side of a beginner, it may be somehow confusing. If you put yourself on the side of a technician, they'll most likely say Vista have always had problems with drivers and such, that's because Vista was pretty much rushed and hardware companies (Dell...etc) didn't have the time to make the proper drivers for Vista. But as long as performance (If you have a fairly good pc) Graphics and features, Vista's really good.It won't replace my good XP Pro Never!

Xplorer4x4 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Or right click on the exe file, click properties, and check mark the box, "Run as Administrator" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joachimnor Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 and also all games should work on windows vista home premium and above.... Everyone who have vista home basic will most likely get problems with alot of games.... If you have a problem with a game on home basic just put it in compability mode windows 95 and run as administrator... and to do that just right click on the source exe file (not the shortcut on your desktop) and go into the prefrences and go to the compability tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
