Just wanted to give you guys a heads-up. It appears as though I am having sound issues when playing the game on a Windows Vista computer. When I click the desktop link to bring up the menu, all "clicking" sounds on the FOF menu occur. When the game is started, there is no sound of any kind (music, voices, clicking, etc).

He'd also probably suggest that you make sure your drivers are updated. Beyond that, I'm having trouble channeling him.

Did you ever encounter this before?

Status: offline 		I had been playing the game on XP with no problems. When I first installed the game on Vista I had the sound issue. I then rebooted the computer and the game worked fine. Following that, I had tried playing the game every few days following that during a few quick moments of free time with the problem reocurring. The computer had already been on and I had not tried restarting the computer due to a lack of time.

Next time I do it, I'll try restarting the computer if it pops up.

I hope the drivers don't need to be updated, the computer is new since January.

By the way, do you have 32-bit or 64-bit Vista?

It is a 64-bit Vista. I just tried to play the game and there was no sound.

Thanks!

Status: offline 		64 bit OS's aren't supported as they actually run 32 bit code on emulators that MSFT acknowledges aren't exactly like the 32 bits versions of the OS's, and we simply don't have the manpower to support what amounts to an additional operating system.

You might try updating your sound drivers, or running in XP compatible mode.

FOF sound works on our 32 bit Vista properly.

Has anyone else had any experience trying to run FOF on a 64 bit Vista system?

Thanks guys!

Status: offline 		Could I get a clarification on this? I've been a long time player, forum lurker, and first time poster.

My old comp died (had XP), and my new one, with 64-bit Vista, doesn't seem to want to run the game.

Am I out of luck?

For compatability.

Click on 'start'
Right click on the FoF Icon if showing or go to 'All Programes' and find FoF if not (or any other game if similar probs)
on the Dropdown menue click 'Properties'
from the Properties menue click on the 'Compatabities' tab across the top and take it from there.

PS FoF runs fine on my Vista 32 bit so probably no need to drop down to XP.

Hope this helps.

All the Best
Peter
