| Guest | Games and Vista I have installed Medal of Honor, and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic for my son and they will not work. The pop up says that I do not have Windows XP. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to make these work? |

| Guest | Re: Games and Vista You can right click on the executable file (in the directory the game installed to) and go to properties. Click on the compatibility tab, and select compatibility mode using Windows XP SP2. -- Dustin Harper dharper@vistarip.com http://www.vistarip.com -- "amytx" <amytx@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8D5649D4-3702-47E4-9E28-AB209922E630@microsoft.com... >I have installed Medal of Honor, and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic > for my son and they will not work.

| Guest | Re: Games and Vista The Install program does not recognize Vista as a compatable OS. Explore the install CD. Find the Setup.exe/Install.exe file on the install CD and right click it and set compatiblity mode to Win XP sp2 and then run the setup.

| Guest | Re: Games and Vista Sometimes in cases like that, I use the Run As Adminstrator option to get around the XP not found bit.
