Vista - installing Teamspeak on vista

i have windows vista an when i download teamspeak it downloads fine but when i click yes to install, i just get the little swirling ring like it is doing something but it locks up my computer and will not do anythin and i end up having to shut off my computer and turn it back on. does anyone know how to fix or bypass this problem?

goose81z Welcome to the forums.

If I remember correctly the last time I installed TS (been a long while) I had to right click and select Properties (on ts2_client_rc2_2032.exe), click on the Compatibility tab and set it to XP mode, and then it installed (think I did the same to the exe/shortcut once installed).

Also if you have another hard drive or partition install TS there, then you will never have to install it again (unless you lose or format that drive/partition). All you do once you have TS installed and setup the way you want is to go to,

C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming

and make a backup copy of the Teamspeak2 folder that is there. Then if you ever have to re-install Windows for any reason, you just put the backup copy back in the Roaming folder, make a shortcut to the TS exe and it is back up and running with all your previous settings (one reason why I said it has been a long while since I installed it, it has been over two years since the last time I installed it, but have installed Windows at least twice).

tried but did not work. it still locks up and all i get is the swirly thing and eventually it says not responding.

rather strange how this would be occurring, it installed fine on my system, have you given it administrator priviliges? (right click the exe and run as administrator)

Do you have User access control on ?
Sometimes that locks up an install while it is waiting for you to confirm.

wher do i turn that on at? control panel etc...?

Where can i download Teamspeak ?
I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit will it be compatible

TeamSpeak - Downloads

Grab both the client (2.0.32.60) and the update (2.0.33.7). Once installed just copy and paste the updated exe into the TS folder.

Not so much that it locks up, more that the UAC window stays behind whatever it was that set it off; check the taskbar and see if it is showing there.

If worse comes to worse and you can't get it to install, you can try this,

Teamspeak2_RC2.zip - FileFront.com

That is a zipped copy of the install of TS (already patched) from my machine and I know it works. Just unzip and put the folder anywhere you want and run the Teamspeak.exe and it should go. If it does just make a shortcut to the exe for your desktop/start menu/quick launch.

To turn off uac just go to help and type

Turn off UAC

And you will be given directions on how to turn it off
Its pretty straight forward and easy.

tried your zipfile and tuned off UAC and as soon as i unziped and clicked open on the exe file it dropped the winzip down and just locked up my computer. any other ideas?
