Panzer Elite info?

[frinik]

This is hogwash! I have PE installed on 2 laptops with Vista one 32 bits( with PE3 enabled and working very well) the other 64 bits and both work well.

I hear the same nonsense being uttered as biblical truth for virtually every sim(SF, TVT etc).Vista is not the devil.OS don't stop games from working,.Some OS require Adminstrator's rights (such as Vista) to perform tasks or instal mods it's and it's a royal pain in the butts.Others like Win 7 sometime force you to re-instal Direct- X9C.

I think people are so used to Windows XP's simplicity that they ascribe all kind of negative nonsense to Vista or Windows 7 whereas, in fact, often they are to blame( and I include myself in the lot) for not properly installing games or mods or sometimes faulty downloads.

Freiwillinge my own experience with PE3 has been one of frustration.For 6 months I had the same problem you faced.PE worked well but the moment I tried enabling PE3 the menu and brief would load and then the game would crash and give me the same message and then on to the statistic page.Ostpak worked fine and I was able to play separately scenarios 2009 and 2010(only the single missions not the campaigns).I spoke to all the guys on the PEDG forum and they gave me all kind of tips and solutions but I was never able to solve the problem.So I uninstalled PE3 and gave up on it until 7 months ago.Then I went back to PEDG and downloaded PE3 again and miracle it worked????No idea why because I did not do anything differently.I don't know howe old is your version of PE3 but if'it's more than 7 months old it may worth downloading the newer version and trying to re-installl PE3 again.What worked for me may work for you as well?????

And BTW Panzer Elite works well with Vista( both versions) and Windows 7 so don't listen to the Cassandras who tell you otherwise because I can attest to it and I am sure thousand of other people playing that sim!!!!
