I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Darunia - 25th March 2010
More Vista cocksucker problems. I fucking hate Vista.
Now I'm trying to run "Napoleonic Wars: Cossacks II" by CDV. It installs cleanly and neatly. Then, I get an incompatibility window. Vista strikes again.
Someone tell me what to do to fix it before I take a sledge to this piece of shit paperweight on my desk.

I get those windows sometimes, the game usually works just fine anyway.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Darunia - 25th March 2010
Well the window popped when I tried the launch it, though. So, no dice.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Great Rumbler - 25th March 2010
Yeah, that's when it comes up. I just close the window and play anyway.

Why don't you upgrade to Windows 7?
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Darunia - 25th March 2010
Windows 7 sounds like it'd come with a pricetag attached.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Unreadphilosophy - 25th March 2010
It's expensive--but it takes care of all of the bugs that Vista has.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Geno - 25th March 2010
Windows 7 is worth the price, especially if you're using Vista. Granted, I got 7 for free when I bought a laptop on clearance that came with Vista, so the price tag wasn't an issue for me, but I'd recommend it regardless.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Darunia - 25th March 2010
How much does it go for.
Fucking Vista sucks so bad, 7 should be free to all the poor saps who got stuck using it.

Compatibility mode didn't work?
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Dark Jaguar - 26th March 2010
You can also try running in administrator mode. However, just as in the other thread, there is NO universal answer, it all varies from game to game! It's to be expected. This isn't really the fault of Vista in this case. The OS is completely recoded from the ground up, not a reuse of the NT system, so it's bound to not be compatible with some games. Again, every game is coded differently, in most cases completely different even if they seem to look the same. I would NOT say getting Windows 7 would fix this problem by the way. 7 is a better OS than Vista, but it's just an upgrade over Vista, not a significant overhaul like Vista is to XP. If a game isn't compatible with Vista, it won't be compatible with 7. There are other things you can attempt, but I can't promise any of it will work. Heck, for all I know the game you are running uses a 16-bit process, and if your install of Vista is 64 bit, 16 bit processes won't work at all no matter what you do. This was true of 64 bit XP as well (though I know no one that HAS 64 bit XP).

I agree with Geno, Windows 7 is such a awesome sandwich, it's worth the price.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - A Black Falcon - 26th March 2010
Bah, Vista's not that bad.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Geno - 26th March 2010
I used Vista just a little bit when I got my new laptop before upgrading to Windows 7 and I hated it immediately. It was slower than my 512-gig RAM previous laptop with XP. Upgrading to 7 quickly remedied this problem.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - A Black Falcon - 26th March 2010
While I've been using it for several years now with no major complaints aside from that handful of incompatible titles... and some games don't work in XP either, and I somehow doubt that 7 is perfect either, so that's to be expected. Overall no major complaints.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Darunia - 26th March 2010
If 500,000,000 people all say, unanimously, that Vista sucks hardcore... why does it not surprise me that ABF stands up to be counted as the one, lone voice who say its not that bad.
YES--it IS that bad!
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - A Black Falcon - 26th March 2010
No, it's not. It's perfectly fine.
(Now XP, XP I've always disliked...)
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Great Rumbler - 27th March 2010
95% of the time, I don't have any problems with Vista. It's got some issues here and there, but it's hardly some buggy, unstable mess.

How does someone dislike XP and like Vista?
That's like hating birthdays and liking rape.
Seriously, I used XP for seven years and loved it. I had problems with the computers XP was on, but never with the OS itself. Vista isn't inherently bad, just poorly-conceived and implemented. Windows 7 is just Windows Vista minus everything that sucks about Windows Vista.

This is ABF. He prefers CRT monitors and 800x600 resolution. He cannot be reasoned with.

I'll accept that as the reason, EM. No sane man would speak praise of Vista.

... I stopped using 800x600 three years ago... and I like CRT monitors more because they're objectively better, image quality wise. That's not something that can be debated, it's true.
They're also cheaper, which is nice. Why spend a lot of money on a new monitor when I already have a perfectly good one?
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Darunia - 27th March 2010
Silence! Now go back to your Apple IIGS and let us enjoy our plasma high-def monitors.

Everyone else stopped using 800x600 about ten years ago :D

On my current monitor, I don't even notice something that's 800x600 unless something specifically calls my attention to it.
And, while I'll allow that a CRT monitor does handle contrast and scaling better than an LCD, the superiority is too slight to make up for the fact that everything else about them is inferior and/or obsolete. Certainly, no CRT is going to give me the half-acre of viewing space my current one provides--and I paid only $160 for it. The last CRT I bought, in 2000, was 5 inches smaller and, adjusted for inflation, twice as expensive. And, it weighed as much as my current computer table and all of its contents. Combined.
Oh, yeah: if you raised the resolution above 1024x768, your eyes would bleed if you ever attempted to read text below 24pt.
I don't miss it.

No they didn't. It was a common resolution well into the last decade.
Darunia Wrote:1280x1024.
I use 1280x1024 in games... just not in Windows, because of how small it makes everything.
I am so Fucking Tired of This. - Geno - 29th March 2010
1280x720. I think my last laptop was 1280x1024 or something like that. My current laptop has a hi-def screen, hence the need for less vertical pixels. The last time I used a desktop computer, I was content with 1024x768. I haven't used 800x600 in about ten years, like EdenMaster said.
