    1 tried to run anyway crashes imediatly even b4 pol splash screen (if u play
    ffxi u know what pol is if u dont dont worry bout it). i upgraded to vista
    RC2 nomore pop up known error window but it still crashes straight up i have
    tried everything i can think of besides using azarils windower to launch ffxi

    Actually... on quake 3 the sensitivity is not the only issue... probably on
    most of the games based on this graphic engine u will find that the gamma
    setting from the game, is not changing anything...

    Re: XP games to Vista

    I have 2 games that still won't work after installing the Jan 5 nVidia driver
    to the
    RTM version of 32 bit Vista released November 18

    NFS Carbon Collector's Edition DVD does NOT work arrggghhhhhh
    also Star Wars Battlefront II fails, both these games ask for the "correct"
    DVD and EA will not support Vista at all, don't even bother

    what really bugs me about Carbon is that every other NFS game I have works
    flawlessly . . .

    For the love of god i can't get battlefield 2142 to play! it loads up fine
    but when i try to play the game i.e join a server, the game just crashes to
    windows. I just don't understand it.

    Red Alert 2.....NO GO Guest

    Re: XP games to Vista

    Battlefront II has worked for me just fine but would love to get the regular
    battlefront working......One that really bugs me is actually one of my
    favorites of all time is Red Alert 2....I can load it and get it all ready to
    go but tells me that there is a fatal error when it goes to load and then
    NOTHING....What the hell was going through these guys minds when they
    released something with no backwards compatibility?!!!!!!

    That worked for me when I ran RA2 and Tiberian Sun.
    What sux is that there isn't a network protocol that works outside of
    joining Westwood Online.
