First start up, when pressing play i got the error message "Fatal error" and CTD.
Second round i tryed to run compability mode XP, feels like i came further, but got a new CTD with the error message "Bitmap Failed to Load (error 17)"... anyone knows how to fix this?

I'm running Windows vista 64.

Happy holidays btw

Hello Daffman.

Are your GPU & DirectX drivers up to date? Also change your desktop resolution to 800x600.

The splash\load screen is has a resolution of 640x480 which can be a problem for some new monitor and laptops.

Yups they are, tried changing the desktop resolution, did'nt work
I've reinstalled it several times aswell, haven't helped.
I'm running a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 card.
The more time that goes by with me not being able to play it...the more i want to play it

Oh right when you say you've reinstalled, have you delete everything to do with the game and then re-download it? Also have you un-install Steam and re-download that too.

First I unistalled it from the steam meny, but it seems it did'nt go away so i took it away manuelly, then reinstalled it, twice.
Haven't reinstalled steam, I guess I could try that aswell(damn i want to play it ), makes it all the games to get unistalled or does only the client get unistalled...oh well I guess i will find out.

If you un-install Steam you lose every game you have got install, but you can backup your other games with Steam's Backup feature. This will save you from having to re-download them, then you can un-install the Steam Client and start again.

Sorry to hear you've do all that crap and it still isn't working, may I ask what UAC setting you have got on your Vista, it shouldn't make any different with the Steam version of the game but it might that.

Is there an Fleetcommand.ini file in the Fleet Command folder?

Have you tried the re-package Jane's Fleet Command demo that I did?
