is not a "Game will not run on Vista problem". The OP just wants a
crack for the game, that crack/cheat should work in both XP and Vista (I
have done this many many times). However, the OP just posted that he
wants to get into the code and write different things there, that is a
whole new ball game and was only just revealed.
I went to a bit of trouble for him, as it was posted under a 'Disabled
Vet' moniker and I suspected not much computer know how. Now it looks
WAY different, so I will bug out gracefully. I replied to you, as I was
clarifying that if a game is running successfully in Vista then a
patch/crack should also apply without problems (or none that I have seen)
I have no arguments with your 'Vista is a little more slippery than XP',
but hey, that's the challenge and the fun of it. I was NEVER going to
get a 64 bit OS, as I had heard and read of all the problems running
games on Vista 64 let alone Vista 32 bit. I bit the bullet a few months
back and grabbed Ultimate 64 bit and just LOVE it and have not had one
game problem.
