This game hates Vista

caladon2

After 3 days of trying to get this game to log in on my Vista system and failing, despite many helpfull hints from these forums and seeing that I had no issues signing in with my wife's XP system, I spent 9 hours setting up my Vista system to Dual Boot with XP and now as long as I boot into XP I can sign on just fine, so whatever problem this game has it does appear to be an issue with Vista.

Good Luck All!

Anezka - Lost City

I run it on Vista Home Premium just fine.. Maybe it's hardware issues?

Belial - Heavens Tear

This may not help, but PW runs fine on my Vista 64 system... Well done for creating a good workaround though .

If you are experiencing some difficulties running the game using Vista, there are some things you can try.

Try running the game as Administrator and/or changing Compatibility Mode. To run an application as an Administrator, you can right click on the game's shortcut and click Properties. If Run as an Administrator pops up in the first menu after you right click, use that.

To change the Compatibility mode, go to the Properties of your game, than go to the Compatibility tab and select Windows XP Service Pack 2 or 3 from the list.

If you want to be exact with the whole Run as an Administrator process, run the game on the account of your computer that has the account set as Administrator.

Another solution is to disable User Account Control:
1. Launch MSCONFIG via the Run menu.
2. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find Disable UAC. Click on that line.
3. Press the Launch button.
4. A CMD window will open. When the command is done, you can close the window.
5. Close MSCONFIG. You will need to reboot the computer for changes to apply.

You can re-enable UAC by selecting the Enable UAC line and then clicking on the Launch button.
