Vista Problems

[Sir Die-a-lot]

(ie. on a $7000 computer, u shouldnt have to do that to get a da@% game to work!!)....

Yeah, you could do like me and play with no problems on a 1200$ Vista machine

Sir Die,

I think the old addage, 'you get what you pay for' doesn't apply to MY situation!!!

LoL, looks like it. I'm wondering, would by any chance your machine be running Vista 64 bits ? That might be the source of your problem. Lots of drivers are not at ease with a 64 bit environment.

Sir - no. Been only using/installing from the 32-bit disk.
kind of funny - I mentioned this issue in another thread for someone else's problem.
I went back to make sure and the 64-bit disk was buried so no chance of it being used...

I still may not be doing the tricks/tips correctly. one of these days, will have to get a walk throu with someone while on teamspeak.
It might be another setting as well that is not configured (something in my security settings, files, software, etc that I just havent dug into).

Like I said, when it takes that much effort to get a game to play, it just aint worth it....

Yeah, I hear ya. Some people are having even worst problems trying to run BF2142 on some rigs, so I can understand.

I think Vista has a huge amount of compatibility issues, which is why my company and many others have held out in upgrading to Vista. Microsoft has never been backwards compatibility friendly with their o/s's. Had similar issues with 98 to XP back in the day.
