run FL and all old programs and games on vista it work!

Post by aguia »

i just want to say that i can now play freelancer and activate the mod's whitout problmes, the only problem is even whit GLS activate, i can't play on server, i can see the list of servers but not to enter on them.

how i fix my problem well i found the answer on microsoft tech,suporte on there web, but i will write a small tut, for all the ppl that have vista and want to use FL(SP mode not MP),FLE,FLMM on vista
by the way my software is in portuguese so i will traduce the names for englis they should be similare but is very easy to fix eny problem (at  least Ms say that it fix all the problems to older games) whit othere games not only FL.

button start-> press the help and suport button, then on the search for help bar , write this Troubleshoot game problemse , yes problemse, Troubleshoot game problemse and then you will have a list of options.

press the eight option called 'games resolution problem', then press the second option called 'old games don't run'  folow the link (there is only on link)

press next and you can select the option for search the game or program that dont run well , select the first one and you will have the list of all the programs that you have instaled on for computer select it press next and them chouse windows xp , next, next... and then the program will be lunshed automatic, exit the program and you will find a msg, say if you want to keep the chaneges or not , save teh change by selecting the last option.
you have to do this every time you want to run a old game, as i have write i can use the mod's ,acivate them whit out errors but i can play on MP.
