Star wars empire at war keeps unhiding my user's c:\users\username\appdata folders. The only way i can stop it happening is to deny the user write permission on the appdata folder which causes problems with other programs. Is there a way to just block empire at war from modifying this folder?
Never mind, i created a new user account to fiddle around with the permissions. Found out you can just block said user accounts from changing the attributes.
Now ive ound out about how to use it, could become very useful.
Have you tried looking for a patch update for "Star Wars: Empire At War" that may resolve the problem?
What I also do to solve 95% of my games compatibility issues with Vista is to make sure they DO NOT get installed to "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files". I usuall do a custom install, and set the destination folder to something inside "C:\Games", which is a folder I created myself.
This is how I got Blizzard's "Diablo" and "Diablo II" to work without problems on Vista x64...
