If you folks are done bickering, I'd really like to hear from someone
who can actually ANSWER alilly's question. I've run into a similar
problem and would like to know if there is actually a solution, or if I
will have to downgrade to XP...
Probably is a simple solution to get the game running, Vista does drivers
differently than Windows XP which is why there's no sound acceleration
setting in DirectSound for Vista, Vista doesn't need it.
I'd try uninstalling the games and installing them into a custom folder.
Usually when you install an application it'll ask what folder you want to
install it into. The default is usually something like:
C:\Program Files\Gamename
You should be able to change the folder to something like:
C:\Games\Gamename
A folder outside of Program Files isn't protected, thus older programs
that write files where they aren't supposed to are free to run around any
crash your OS files (kidding, sort-a).
Once the game is installed you might try right-clicking and choose run as
administrator, just in case.
Write back if that fails and post your hardware specs. We're not sitting
at your computer, it's hard to tell what the problem is if we don't know
what we're dealing with.
