Which titles are giving you grief on your new Vista laptop? To be honest, I have had not one single Vista-related compatibility issue with any game that worked in XP. I even have both Supreme Command and C&C3: Tiberium Wars (the Kane Edition at that) installed. This is a P4 2.6 Northwood-C (overcranked to 2.85 GHz), 1.5 GB of RAM, ATI AIW 9700 Pro, and Vista Ultimate. Christopher L. Estep |

| | Re: Any Game It Seems I have an old game (Deadlock) which ran in XP but won't run in Vista, no matter what compatibility mode I tried. I eventually downloaded the App Compatibility Toolkit and found that when I set it to "Win95" compatibility AND added in "ProfilesSetup" (Whatever that is) the game ran fine. Mark "Christopher L.

| | Re: Any Game It Seems Before you dive into the compatibility Toolkit, have you tried the built-in compatibility modes for the games? In the main menu (not in the Games Explorer) find your game and right click on it. Select properties and then pick the "compatibility tab", try setting it for compatibility mode for XP. Then close, then right click again and select "Run as Administrator" - those two things fix 99% of problems and they are easy to do!
