Blairgowrie Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I could be wrong but I think the no dvd crack solves this problem. It is in our vault 4.34mb under patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mctav Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Big thanks BG. I will download it and run a disc around to him when I get home tonight if no other info is forthcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted November 21, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Like BG said Also advise him to not install it in program files folder, instead install in, say, C:\IL2 - this helps with file permission issues. He also needs to make sure Vista's UAC is turned off too.. I run it fine under Vista64 now, barely (if any) difference to XP64 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shayd Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Forgive me for completely disagreeing here, but no you DON'T have to turn off UAC under Vista as I use Vista64 just fine with it on for all programs I run. (Saitek drivers, Hyperlobby, IL-2, COD, EQ2, LOTRO, etc...) And no I don't get UAC prompts all the time due to following the below rule. I agree with not installing under C:\Program Files as that is considered a protected area under Vista and any program that is not written for Vista should not be installed there. C:\My Program Files would be a good place if they only have one drive. This one thing is 99% of peoples problems with running games under Vista. He also needs to make sure Vista's UAC is turned off too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
