Problem: Vista vs. Age of Empires II

[Vulgotha]

Like the name suggests, Vista is having problems with this game. In fact, I cannot even INSTALL this game. It simply (I've tried two discs) stops installing after 4%, and stares at me.

Often locking up the PC and forcing me to kill it. I've scoured the net and even the official microsoft web page(s) for Vista patches or other tweaks for this game. Nothing.

So, what say you?

I Come to the conclusion that Vista SUCKS 124%. I suggest going back to XP or mac and every thing is back to normal and in working order.

Hope that helps.

I LOL'd hard at the first part. The second part, I LOL'D harder.

If you are that stupid to not know how to use Vista, and say it sucks, then don't even post that it does. It is a very good OS and an improvement from XP.

OP, are you using a legit version? Also, are the discs in good condition?

Man i used vista on both my laptop and pc.

After 2 months and seeing the imporments of my -10% in performance. I chose to go back to XP after like the 100th freeze up.

But i was useing the one with the OEM crack. But that shouldn't do anything.

Vistas not that bad but well maybe ok....Its bad.

I also liked the fact that now i can get my 2500Mb/s down. Instead of 1500 i was getting with vista. I thought it was just cause it was wireless. But nooo I was proven wrong.

No it is not bad. I have had 1 freezeup. And that was when I was OC'ing my video card wrongly. IF you don't have the hardware to run Vista, of course it is going to run a little slower. With a new OS comes new requirements. You don't expect to run Windows XP on a system with a P3 500mhz, 128mb RAM, and a 4gb HDD do you? But you could run Windows 2000 on it right?

EDIT: Because Vista throttles your internet connection

[BingBing]

well sure as hell wasn't throttling my connection.

So I guess that means neither of you can help Vulgotha?

Not really, you just asked if he has a legal copy of Vista or not. Just answer the question both ways.

[BingBing]

yea does he have all the updates.

I said a legit copy of the game....

[Vulgotha]

I just bought a new disc pack. So yea, they're legal copies. Completely legit, fresh off the shelves.
