Janes FA -18

For the second time I have reloaded Vista Ultimate 64 No nothing wrong in a
major way here. Install went fine other than some weirdness with the mail.

Then I proceded to reinstall games almost all installed fine. Except for
JF-18. It is a Win-98 game. so far everyone with Vista has been able to get
the game to install fine. You do need to set run as admin in compatability
to play the game. mine is doing something weird. On loading the CD I get the
install splash screen. When I click install I get the UAC prompt and I
accept. Then I get the busy mouse icon for around 15-25 sec., then nothing.
I have tried running the setup.exe as admin and in win95/98/XP-SP2modes no
joy on all. Anyone have an idea??

Try copying the cd contents onto hard drive, then click on properties for
the installer, run as admin and maybe compatibility for XP?

Andy,

F/A-18 is a Windows executable. Haven't tried to play it on Vista myself,
though - too busy playing rFactor and FSX.

Seems that the game has installed no problem for others. To run others have
set "Run as Admin"nd Win 98 Compat mode. It's got to be something on my
system.

Re: Janes FA -18

When I put the CD in I get the splash screen for install. after I hit
install I get the UAC prompt. I accept then nothing. Stuck the disk in my
laptop (XP) to see if that was the problem and it ran fine. The even older
Janes F-15 install just fine go figure.
