Help getting DW to work on Visya x64

Castout · 03-23-09, 10:19 PM

Yesterday I installed DW again with RA mod and it ran fine.
But today when I tried to play the game again the game refuses to run. Every time I double click the exe nothing happens.

My OS is Vista x64.

I have a firewall installed and I have put DW exe to my safe file list so that my firewall won't interfere with it and allows it to run.

Try turning AA off?

It runs for me, but I basically can't access the options screen because of Vista. I'm running x64 as well.

PD

Thx will try that.

Hmm that didn't work.

It seems the whole DW registry is missing so DW is not registered in my Vista.
I couldn't uninstall it the usual way and deleted the whole game folder instead.

Well I'll try reinstalling later.

Thanks Goldorak

That will need some brain to be fully digested because I don't know what I'm reading on that page lol. I suppose it tries to explain a bit of witchcraft thing going on in Vista. I'll review the page later when 2nd installation fails.
