Vista Tutorial - GRAW and RC1

Well I tried unsuccessfully to launch the install from the Ghost Recon
Advanced Warfighter DVD. So I for giggles I installed the physX driver and
set my previous install of GRAW from Xp to ---security ownership. Launched
the exe and to my surprise I hopped in a server with all my settings intact
w/ no problems with FPS or gameplay.

I'm just curious if these install issues can be fixed or maybe patched by
microsoft when you try to install these games. I mean GRAW isn't that old it
should install easily you'd think.

Turns out all you have to do is bypass the autorun on most games and find the
install or setup file. Run as administrator or just double click and allow.
After the shortcut is made you have to run that as administrator. A few
hoops to hop through but this method works on most software but not with ones
that want exclusive drivers. I found Beta drivers for NVIDIA and the Java 6
works perfect!
