Just got a new PC with Vista . Harpoon ANW does not run .
Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions ?
I am long term Harpooner and beginning to go through withdrawal .
My wife will start to suggest a 12 step program if I don't get my fix.

How can I make Harpoon run on Vista?

Thank you

Can you be more specific on exactly what will or won't happen?

Apparently, a fair number of players have Vista and report that it runs without any problems. I don't run Vista, myself. I have heard a few things that might help you, though.

When installing ANW, you need Administrator access.

Also, you might try installing ANW to a folder outside of your Programs folder. From what I've heard, programs installed to the Programs folder require more authentication. So, just put it in C:\Matrix Games\ANW

Good luck to you and hope that we get an MP game with you soon.

Welcome (back) aboard, shipmate.

Thank you for the reply. It is very good to be back, indeed.

This is the path I am using . As you can see it is not installed in games.

"C:\Matrix Games\Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare"

This is the message returned

"harpoon3.exe has stopped working."

"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Allan

Thank you very much.

I installed the 3.9 update and then the fix.

Game is running fine.
