PR 0.708 - Vista 64 Ultimate installation steps

[musp3r]

Here's quick and dirty step by step PR .708 install on Vista 64 Ultimate. These are my steps, that worked for me every time I've reinstalled my system to play PR .708.

1. Install Vista64
2. Install all available Vista64 patches (I've used Autopatcher - July 07, and added three more patches manually: Windows6.0-KB938194-x64, KB938979, KB940105)
3. Install mainboard drivers/audio drivers
4. Install latest Nvidia GFX drivers
5. Install vBF2
6. Install patch 1.41
7. Install PR 0.708 Core
8. Install PR 0.708 Levels
9. Download and run pbsetup and apply PunkBuster patch.
10. Adjust your graphics/sound/control settings, and play.

I haven't turned off any default Vista services, except UAC, which is too annoying for me.

^^ And after a few rounds online...CTD right after map load and joining the game

How i fixed this:

- I ran control panel/administrative tools/services (or run->services.msc)
- stopped services and disabled automatic startup of following services:
- Application Experience, SuperFetch, Windows Defender, Windows Search
- run->msconfig and remove check mark on Windows Defender on Startup Tab
- reboot
- play PR... .
