Re: Installing/Running Windows XP games in Vista Beta2

I installed BF2. I had to turn off User Account Control because of
Punkbuster. Being logged in as an Admin wasn't enough. Also, it runs MUCH
slower in Vista than XP64 at the same settings. I will keep trying to see if
I can improve it. Running 2gb ram, AMD4400 and 7800GT.
