Vista... ARGH!!!

ChairmanJay SG

I just installed the stupidest ever microsoft vista ultimate... Cool features, nice start-up, everything esle...BAD.

A lot of programs are not compatitable with vista. Damn, even my NFS Carbon *ahem* edition can't run. Maplestory doesn't run well either. BOOO, vista just sucks! I'm reverting back to XP now.

R3SsH|n SG

where u get your vista?

manyu882 SG

1. Right click the excutable file.. go to properties and set (and also check the box) it to win XP Sp2 competible
2. Right click the excutable file..run as administrator

ChairmanJay SG

thanks for ur great help... but...

manyu882 SG

and also.. if the program requires u to enable write permission.... here's how u go about..

1. start>start search> input: User Accounts
2. click on "Turn User account On or off"
3. uncheck the box "Use User account control (UAC) to help protect your computer
4. click ok..

this will also disable irritating prompts by VIsta..

manyu882 SG

try the UAC thingy first.. if cannot.. run the program again.. den instead of closing it.. u press "check for sloution online and close it"... tell what it does and what it says

manyu882 SG

ok..if cannot work again, maybe its gonna do with Open GL.. you need a updated graphic driver from ATI website.. download the driver which is for Windows Vista.

you also may want to paste the error description here so i can analyze

ChairmanJay SG
