GM request for sticky plz

[t1nk]

Any chance of a sticky on forum where people can ask for help for probs with vista and getting things to run properly?
Seems to be a few people trying to get things sorted, and with vista being the way things are going i.e new systems only offering vista, would be good for the game......

there is a whole section for players help, but if someone makes a nice guide i will make it a sticky.

then they should and there problems might get sorted quicker and other members wouldnt get so pissed off with the repeated questions time after time when there been solutions posted in the correct area.

Have you tried this that someone has put on the help section?

Im running a laptop with Vista atm and i was able to connect alright. Thought spent a while unil this popped into my head.

Once you download the installer. Right click on it then click properties. Once the lil window pops up click on the compatability tab. Then you will see 'Run with the compatability of' (or something like that). With a check box beside it. Tick the check box then the dropdown menu becomes active. Click that and then select 'Window XP (Service Pack 2)'. Apply and close that window.

Once installed there should be a shortcut on the desktop to mir. Right click that and go to properties. And repeat what you done for the compatability of the installer. I am assuming that you have all the windows vista updates installed. If not check the interwebs for some downloads. Or your control panel for the automatic windows updates.


This will save haveing to split the Hard Drive and install Window XP. For those who want to save time and hard drive space.

If you have any questions i would be happy to answer them.

EDIT:Just realised that this has nothing to do with lag on vista! o well its here for anyone that may need it.
