Text Sims and Vista

Balldog · 10-01-2007, 08:44 PM

My hard drive took a dump on my laptop so I bought a new laptop today with Windows Vista. Its taking me some time to get used to this, its not user friendly IMO.

Anyway, I am having trouble getting FBCB, OOTP 6, and FOF 2004 to run. I try to run them and nothing happens, am I missing something?

Don't you have to run and/or install as Admin? I don't have Vista, but that's what I recall hearing.

Yeah, Right click -Run as Admin -Allow the game to communicate with your pc. You only have to do this once.

You may have to make a new shortcut on your desktop to do the "Run as Admin" thing.

You may also have to right-click on the installation folder and change security permissions to allow writing, if the game writes to the Program Files directory.
