Skwasjer was huge help in getting it straight for me. The biggest thing was making a folder for your games.

After that, it acts and runs like XP. I never run it as administrator or any of that. Never ran it as administrator for patches etc. Double click and off I go

No thread yet for Vista installation....maybe we will use this to kick it off.

i officially volunteer you to create one lol

you could almost just copy and paste your post to a new thread and sticky it.

I will just start a new one and let Bruce get his sorted with this thread. I really do not want to do the ultimate thread hijack

Thx Webster

Thx Webster

i would suggest you put it in the sh4 mods workshop forum, since it gets the most traffic it will get the best exposure there

I will do both. Because I can

OK, following the great advice here, I uninstalled and reinstalled to my own c:\games\sh4 folder. Copied the 1.4 patch to desktop, ran it, moved it to a downloaded patches folder I have, and created a shortcut on the desktop for the game.

All is well now.

Now next question, when I set the game play options by turning each option on or off as opposed to just using the drop down to pick EASY or NORMAL, do those choices carry over to the campaign?

Yeah, it works

Options, two things, you set options in sub school but these options will not be the same when you start a career. In the office, to the left is a radio on the shelf. Click that for you options you want. It will save these options from then on. I would not mess with the easy, normal, hard options. Useless presets IMO.
