Vista Compatible Games List So Far

G

Guest

Well I must be doing something wrong with my new Vista Home Premium desktop,
because I cannot get Command & Conquer: Generals and Zero Hour nor Splinter
Cell : Double Agent to work.

I have set the compatibility to XP and let them run as Admin but in all
cases the screen just returns to the desktop view after I click play.

This is on a machine with a Windows base score of 5.7

Any help on getting these to work would be appreciated.

Thanks

I can play C&C Generals On my system, but I can't play FS 2004. My system is
a NEC L1040 with 1GB+ Ram and a onboard AGP Graphics Card with a base memory
of 256MB.

I have been Reading so many diff. ways to try to get my DF2 game to work and
without end have not been able to do it.

I have done everything i can to it i can get my DF Favorites to work but
the DF2.EXE wont work i have run it from XP to 98 to Admin.

Turned all fire walls off it still wont work Single missions no problem i
can run DFX,BHD, COD,COD2,COD United Offensive,Halo 2 on line.

I cant run Wolfenstein: Enemy territory,COD4 which is Brand new and of
Course DF2. There has to be a better way.

I know about 10 People that run this game on their Vista and have no
Problems at all I have the Vista Home Premium 1.86 2030MB with a Nvidia
GeForce 7300 GT.

I know this is an OLD game and should probably move on but this is still a
cool game and there are still alot of us out there that play it or want too.

Is Microsoft working on this at all or are they going to let it Slide.

Roll your EYE'S Get Mad Have all the Sarcasm all you want but if you
cant HELP then SHHH! let someone else that Actualy has Something to say use
your Space Because your wasting it.

Ian:

Your list was very helpful since I've been having trouble finding pc game
software that states that it's compatible with Vista & then really is...ie
Scrabble complete, The Rise of Atlantis. I'm looking to purchase the cd
software for games, as I'm leary about downloading and purchasing them from a
website.

I'm looking for places to purchase pc game software for vista.

Thanks,

Merry Christmas :)

Where is the awesome "Orbiter Sim." The disappointment I feel for being
unable to participate in this Space Simulation that could teach Flight
Simulator X more than a few things?

I spent so much on Premium upgrades and second product keys, and I nearly
threw it all away over the loss of this simple fantastic game. Is Orbiter Sim
and it's community of independent developers beyond the capabilities of
Flight Sim's team?

I'm so blasted disappointed in Microsoft over this. All these bells and
whistles are fine but I want my Orbiter Sim 2006! Any one want to sell me a
XPsp2.

Aoe 3 War Chiefs? Not here. I have even had trouble with aoe 3 both games
were attempted on Vista Basic and Premium. I have commented about this on
another thread and was told it was a setup problem but not given specifics on
how to fix this. I have used the "run as XP service pack 2" option on aoe3
and can run it through the shortcut on the desktop but not through the cd and
trying to install War Chiefs is a joke! Even though aoe is in the program
files where it should be vista can not find it when installing the expantion
pack. I would half expect this from my Age of Pirates or Stronghold 2 games
but aoe? I miss my Linux!!

I had a simillar problem befor installing SP1. As you know Quake3 has the
same game engine as MOHAA. From the begining I had no problems with Quake3
but MOHAA weren't woriking. Maybe You shoud try some new graphics drivers or
something like that. Wright now I am chaching in what configuration mine
MOHAA works...Ok I've checked. I have no compatibility mode and MOHAA is
runing perfect on mine Vista Ultimate with SP1. Maybe you should install
some DX9 liberies. I have LG notebook with 2 GB duo and 4GB of RAM. Ogh, I
see that you have Vista 64 version, maybe that is the problem. I sugest
install 32 version.
(sorry for mistakes, I am polish and have some problems with writing in
english:))
