Many posts ago I wrote about c2 not working in vista so I said that I would not rest until I found something that may fix it. But since Openc2e has been released I have been beaten at finding a fix but if this helps this is what I found.

1.This could be wrong but I think that c2 in vista may have a problem with a regedit not installing or somethin(Cant remember).
2.If you download Virtual Pc 2007 this could be a way of playing it. Virtual Pc allows you to install other operating systems without changing from your existing one(Im not good at explainin thins am I :-/).

Anyway if you can understand what Im saying this is all I could find and this should help abit.







Boo.

as far as i'm aware, to run a virtual machine you need to have a copy of the OS you want to run anyway. so if you own vista and no XP cd, for example, it won't help. possibly there's a total emulator somewhere about, but i think it would be just a TOUCH black market.

if we're not the change we want to see
if we're not the change, who will be?

Running an incompatible app inside a VM is not quite a 'fix.'

Good on you though.

There are fundamental issues with C2 on Vista that extend beyond simple registry issues, iirc. Running C2 in a virtual machine is not so much fixing the vista incompatibility as running it on a different (albeit emulated) computer. ;)

Hopefully one day somebody will find a fix or the cause.

The cause is known and there is no fix (more specifically, there is no fix that addresses the cause).

that made me think of the peasants in warcraft 3 where you keep clicking them and they go "Help! Help! I'm being repessed!"

lulz worthy

also, windows 98 rocks my socks.
