| | Problem Installing games Im having problems installing XP games on vista like AOE 2, AOE 1, etc. When the installer gets to a certain percent, like 51, the game just stops installing. It shows the install wizard as if it is still installing, but it stays at 51 percent and never continues. Does Anyone know what to do? I had this problem on one laptop so I returned it and got another one, bt it still happens... |

| | Re: Problem Installing games Try right clicking the setup file and select "Run as Administrator". If that doesn't work, you can right click the setup, go to properties, then Compatibility, then select "Windows XP SP2" and then run setup again. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com "Problems installing games" <Problems installing games@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:7CFBC984-D687-45FF-AFF0-9D22BE11CDAE@xxxxxx Quote: > Im having problems installing XP games on vista like AOE 2, AOE 1, etc. > When > the installer gets to a certain percent, like 51, the game just stops > installing.

| | RE: Problem Installing games Do you have your user account control on? I was having problems with certain games and when someone told me about the account control to turn it off, my games stated to work with no problems.
