ORIGINAL: marcusm Most important argument. MOO2 doesn't work properly in Vista. That makes it no go asap :). I've got MOO2 running on Vista currently... what kind of problems are you having, maybe there's a fix? quote:
ORIGINAL: ravinhood Hey Nim8or I don't know if it will work on Vista but I know it does on XP. If you are having lockup issues with Warlords III, on your command line after .exe type in -wincursor (that's a space and a minus sign then wincursor next to the minus sign) I had issues with Warlords III both editions until I found out that little tweak and both of them work now without locking up or crashing. If you don't know where your command line is make a shortcut of your Warlords .exe icon and then open the shortcuts properties, at the top you should see something like C:\Warlords III\Warlords.exe (depends on what drive your game and what folder name you have it stored actually), but, after that Warlords.exe (just type) -wincursor Just be sure and put a space inbetween the minus sign and the last e in exe. which should finally look like this: C:\Warlords III\Warlords.exe -wincursor Hope that works for yah. ;) Well, whatdyaknow? I re-installed the game, set-up the shortcut with the '-wincursor', set admin rights, set compatibility to Windows 95, set the option 'Run in 640 x 480 resolution' (after several other tries), and now it works! Thanks, ravinhood!! That was my one lone holdout I continued to have problems with. I really appreciate the help. I haven't played Warlords III for probably two or three years now... See and some think I'm a demented mean old man. ;) Glad it worked. I was in the same boat with XP and someone on another forum suggested it to me. As for Vista, it's not so much as it's another money grab by Microsoft/Gates it's that out of the chute it's more highly not recommended by some of the professionals and experts that it's just not real popular right now. If it works for 1 out of a 100 does that make it good OS for everyone to buy? ;) Even if it worked for 50/100 would that be a good OS to buy? Regardless if people build their own or not or those that buy them straight up from the factory all of them should be running it at 95% rate of success anything less is just unexceptable. I expect the "casual" issues with ANY OS, but, these issues aren't casual with Vista, everytime I turn around I hear another complaint about it long before I hear of someone having a success. Just look at Adam Parker...lol, lord knows he was sooooo adamant of how great Vista was and then look what happened to him and his experience with Vista. So, just because it hasn't happened to you yet doesn't mean murphy won't hit you later on. ;) I'm not wishing or hoping it will happen to you...it's just that there's too much information of issues with it right now to warrant even using it for several more years. It was a long time before I upgraded to XP, I certainly didn't rush out to get it when it was released or even years later. I don't think I got XP until I was playing some online game that required it. There's nothing worth it right now to get Vista and in a few years it will be as inexpensive as ME I betcha.
