Horizons and Vista

I have tried running Horizons: Empire of Istaria under Vista. Run great under
5384, 5600, and 5728. It crashes at startup under 5744 with a fault in
msvcrt.dll.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to get the game running under 5744?

RE: Horizons and Vista

Well finally got it to work. I had to rename msvcrt.dll and then copy the
same file from version 5728 and it runs like a charm. Obviously the error is
in this module.

RE: Horizons and Vista

Rebooting with these files switched was a BAD IDEA. Ended up reinstalling.
