Windows Vista

[stowt07]

when I load the game, and either choose, start new game, or load game, after I select which ever, the game just does nothing beyond that point, freezes. I have to then end the process to shut down the game.

 

any help please???

Read the pinned posting requirements, and try the obvious Vista checks such as Windows 98 compatibility mode and updating your video drivers.

[stowt07]

yeah. I made the game compatible with Windows XP SP2. and it worked, the first time I tried it. and then I went a little while without playing it, and now when I try to play it, it freezes after I select which game to load. I just bought a new monitor, if that has anything to do with it.

 

???

[stowt07]

okay. now I set it to Windows 98/ ME. but now my saved games aren't there, it works. but I don't have any saved games.

 

help please???

 

thanks.

[stowt07]

Nevermind.

 

I set it to Windows 2000. and my files are there. f*ck. thanks anyways.

What happens when you turn compatiblity mode off (Vista compatibility)?

[stowt07]

It was off when I first installed Windows Vista. The game wont even load without compatibility (I think).

start new game

That was a serious and weird problem. The game didn't need to hunt down for a [.set] file or a [.b] file.

 

But I think you probably had to update your device manager drivers, download the latest Windows Updates, and delete [.set] file. After that I would probably reinstall the game and try the v1.01 patch if you don't have v2.0. You should check to see if you are the admin - if you were, then still right-click the [.exe] and choose "Run As Administrator".

 

Windows 2000 compatibility? There is also a Win95/NT compatibility.
