vista ftl : (
so i got ordered my new comp which was supposed to come with XP (because of all the problems with games and such). but, it took over 5 days to get delivered with the 3 day guarantee (weather problems). so i start it up and find out that it has vista, wtf? thats just part of the problem... now i can't get it to verify so i won't have all those problem (something about invalid key...)
somewhat pissed about it... |

Contact the shop where you got it from?

To add further insult to injury, they're already making another OS due out in 09.

If I had spent a lot of £ on Vista, I would be really pis*ed about the news of the new OS coming in 2009 (I got it for free through my job). |

- right click on shortcut of BF2/PR - choose properties - and from the offered tabs try to do the following: run in compatible XP mod, and make sure that check box, which is saying something like run with administrator privileges - is checked!!! (sry, for inaccurate explanation, but I have Vista at home, here it's XP so I'm tellin' ya all from back of my mind) - press apply button, and it should be ok! ... if you still got a problem runnin it from Vista, try to look on this post how to manually set up CD key (but, that thing with privileges and running app. as admin. work for me) or if you can wait till 19 o'clock (GMT+1) I'll post an update from my home - exactly as should be...ok? *Update Come home, done the screen shoot, make sure U set it up as same as it here and it will work   | |
