Americas Army Will Not Install

I have tried all support solutions to no avail so far, I try to install
there's a delay of between 10 & 15 minutes then it asks for authorisation to
allow, then it says the program is not responding, it then shuts the program
down.

I have also downloaded a fresh 2.8 which didnt help either.

System is a Dell Inspiron 9400
Intel 2.0 ghz duo T7200
2 gig ram ddr2 667
Ge Force 7900 go 256 meg graphics
O/S Vista home

Could you tellus what those support solutions are\were ? The natural
suggestion would be to ask if you tried running the install with the "Run As
administrator" option, Choose XP Comapt mode and if you tried turning off
the UAC and running the install.

Since it appears you have a laptop, then the questions about where you did
an upgrade or if this is a fresh install is also a question.

You might also want to post a note over in vistareadygames.com, since some
one already reported Vista working there

UAC is the User Account Control. It's the security behind Vista and the main
man behind those pop-up messages.

You can turn it off by going to Control Panel, User Accounts and it's right
there .

Not sure it will make a difference, but it's something to try.
