Hi Beliz,

Just Right-Click the installer and then select "Run As Admin"

Steven

yeh thanks :D it does work when you do that .. THEN u face a MILLION OTHER problems that vista thorws your way :P

if anyone uses bored aussie in wc3 they need to download the new loader and when they go to use that loader a msg will come up

path to patch canot be found .. OR somthing to that effect the way i fixed that is like this ...

start > accesories > rightclick on C prompt/run and start as admin > then type the following

bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

I have warcraft and you dont turn off execute-bit protection unless your using some type of game exploit...

NX Protection is used to prevent types of malicious software from taking over computers by inserting their code into another program's memory storage area and running their own code from within this section; this is known as a buffer overflow attack. This affects all operating systems and NX protection is the only way to prevent this type of attack

NX on Windows Vista/XP protects Windows core services only and does not need to be turned off...

Infomation here: NX bit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

when using the bored aussie loader .. and u get that msg u need to do that or else u cant login to BA .. theres no new loader made as of yet so untill there is for vista64 thats what u gota do :O didnt know it was all that bad but :/ if theres a better way please teach cool:
